"If your eye is pure, there will be sunshine in your soul. But if your eye is clouded with evil thoughts and desires, you are in deep spiritual darkness. And oh, how deep that darkness can be!" -Matthew 6:22, 23

If the eye is the window of the soul, how easily polluted our souls can become. We must be consistently aware of what we are focusing. Consider the easy access to pornography on the internet, movies, television, and even the best selling novels. How can a Christian avoid the temptation to drift away from the path and consider the lifestyles as those depicted in current "reality shows"? In a book called Simple Faith, Charles Swindoll cautioned that we have security in living always in truth. By living in the light of truth, (God's Word), we are able to see both truth and lie, both light and darkness and "which is simple, pure and clear and that which is deceptive." In darkness we no longer see the truth and we become victimized by the bondage of darkness. Living in the Word enables us to keep our focus clear and our souls pure.

Ken Reid sang a solo "On Eagle's Wings," Sunday accompanied by Gwen Jones' dance movements. What a beautiful "spiritual lifting" song. Thank you, dear people.

Thought for the Week: "I will instruct you (says the Lord) and guide you along the best pathway for your life; I will advise you and watch your progress. Don't be like a senseless horse or mule that has to have a bit in its mouth to keep it in line!" -Psalms 33:8,9
