Darkness is the natural state of man and of the world.
This is why religions devised by men, no matter how sincere they may be, lack the ability to bring light to their followers and disciples.

John the Apostle wrote, " In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness .".

Brethren, if the world was filled with light than John would have written, " And the light shines into the light ".

To teach that the ways of men are filled with light contradicts the most basic of Christian doctrine, that Jesus Christ is the Light of the world.

Jesus said, " I am the light of the world. He who follows me does not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.".

He who leans on his own understanding is in darkness even unto now.

Brethren, decide this day to follow Jesus.
