The Difference Between Light & Darkness

Luke 11:33-54

I. Walking in Darkness         

1. Preferences & religious traditions become more important than God’s Word.  

Psalm 119:130 - The unfolding of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.

Matthew 5:16   Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, & glorify your Father who is in heaven.

Ephesians 5:8   You were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light

2. Appearance becomes more important than reality.

3. Majoring on the minors becomes more important than justice & love.  

Isaiah 1:17 - Learn to do good; Seek justice, Reprove the ruthless, Defend the orphan, Plead for the widow.                                                                    

Micah 6:8 - He has told you…what is good; & what does the Lord require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, & to walk humbly with your God?  

4. Jockeying for position & recognition becomes more important than serving.   

Mark 9:35 -He called the twelve and said, "If anyone wants to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all."                                                                   

5. Being spiritually & emotionally damaging to those who need to see Christ.

II. Walking in Light
