By Pastor Myckal Morehouse

It's all in the light. The UV light mimics the sunlight and holds a deadly attraction to the insect. Like a stupified and mesmerized little robot, as soon as they catch a glimpse of this false light they are just drawn in -- closer -- and closer -- and closer, until ZIP!!! The fan sucks them into a bug prison. It doesn't matter if the bug is big or small, old or young, beautiful or ugly -- this trap catches them ALL.

Jesus warns us all that we too can be led away by deadly delusions -- the devil's FALSE LIGHT! Like low-hanging fruit the world hangs its own human-catchers, and just like the bugs, if we too focus on the false light we will likewise be drawn in - closer -- and closer --- and closer until we are sucked into the devil's trap -- a prisoner to sin! It is for this reason that Jesus says we should take a frequent inventory of the light we let into our homes -- lest the light we let in really be darkness!

When was the last time you took an honest look at the things you let into your home or mind? Let in the darkness, and you become the darkness -- but let in the true light of Jesus, and He promises that by beholding the true light you will be changed into the same image from glory to glory.
