ABC for D
This would be a line of books which would be modified for the mentally and/or physically challenged or disabled. The
topics would include, but not be limited to, arts and crafts, home improvement, and cooking. In addition to simple projects
and easy to understand directions, the books would include a catalogue through which the disabled person might order the specialized
tools needed for his /her condition and endeavor. The series would also include advanced editions.
"Come now, you who say, 'Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade
and get gain' whereas you do not know about tomorrow. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time
and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we shall live and we shall do this or that. "
James 4:13-15
Carry the Cross
This is simply the Middlechild version of the United Way. By donating to Carry the Cross, you will be supporting
all of the various causes listed on projected projects. Indeed by donating, you are helping others by lessening their burdens.
With this option you may choose to have donations equally divided between all or directed to emergency assistance. If the
latter is your choice, there is the added benefit of knowing your monies will be applied to whichever peoples are in
greatest need at that time.
"Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that
in the Lord your labor is not in vain."
1 Corinthians 15:58
"And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through
Him." Colossians 3:17
CBCLC
Christian Benevolent Charitable Love Council
A brainstorming tour de force for applied Christian solutions to pressing world problems. Through the years I've met
several compassionate persons who have expressed interest in sitting on such a council which would discuss and prepare methods
for assisting the needy everywhere; aiding in catastrophes; preventing or mediating in potential/on-going wars; raising
awareness for international atrocities; petitioning Congress and the White house with spiritually guided proposals; encouraging
one another to be strong for God, and so to love everyone.
There may be chapters of this council started worldwide. We seek God earnestly, pray openheartedly and faithfully
rely on Him to guide us.
"Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you, as you have said."

one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near." Hebrews 10:23-25
"But as it is, Christ has obtained a ministry which is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he meditates

one day." 2 Peter 3:8
Chez Cheez
The quintessential vegetarian restaurant. A smorgasboard of delicious down-home and gourmet dishes which are not so far
out as to be unappealing. Here the king sized portion platters will include virtually every cheese dish known to mankind
prepared both traditionally or for the health-conscious, in low-fat and even fat-free varieties. Of course there will be macaroni
and cheese available in 10 different cheese sauces, or go for the mix and match five cheese version. Fondues, crepes, veggies
in cream and cheese, meatless quiches, individual pizzas, a line of cheese breads, potato casseroles. A fruit and fifteen
cheese board is always romantic(and delicious!). There will always be a bowl of homemade cheese puffs on the table when
you arrive, along with a sumptuous selection of the cheese and crackers of the day. Other features will include a full line
of diet sodas(not just coke), an extensive dessert menu(with some sugar-free), and a small gift shop to take something cool
back to your chez.
A portion of profits will be donated to PetHattan PetHaven.
"'Test your servants for ten days.; let us be given vegetables to eat and water to drink. Then let our appearance
and the appearance of our youths who eat the king's rich food be observed by you, and according to what you see deal with
your servants.' So he hearkened to them in this matter, and tested them for ten days. At the end of ten days it was seen that
they were better in appearance and fatter in flesh than all the youths who ate the kings rich food. So the steward took away
their rich food and the wine they were to drink, and gave them vegetables."
Daniel 1:12-16 (kings traditionally dined on various meats regularly)

1 Corinthians 8:13
"As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God."
Psalms 42:1
Desert the desert
One of the chapters in the Utopia Puzzle, my first book, will address this issue and project. People living in constantly
arid lands where drought is the norm may elect to live in fairer climates. The offer should be made.
It might be arranged through the UN. Each country, as it has ability, would offer to adopt a group of people(as the clan
or tribe might choose to group themselves) and set it up on a workfare/welfare program. Upon acceptance of the offer which
would be genuinely made and described in detail through a translator, they would be relocated to their new country; provided
with a modest, clean and appropriate new apartment; set up on a financial and social support system to enable time
as they work toward eventual independance; assisted in cultural understanding in the new land; equipped with the
necessary training to obtain the skills needed for their chosen fields. Would we not want this done for us should the tables
be so turned?

Empathy for Elderly
This is an advocacy group which will disseminate flyers and business cards to all nursing facilities for the elderly
including homes, hospice, hospitals, assisted living communities and to seniors at large receiving home health care. We will
strive to identify abusive situations and have the employees reprimanded or removed and/or have the elderly patient relocated
or assigned a new caregiver.
We will address the elderly communities concerns through contact with the appropriate state and federal agencies. We
will be a listening and empathetic ear. We will spread the hope and love of Christ, as true Christians, nondiscriminantly.
"Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his hands, so that he may be able
to give to those in need."
Ephesians 4:28
"...who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets the prisoners free; the Lord
opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down; the Lord loves the righteous. The Lord watches over
the sojourners, he upholds the widow and the fatherless; but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin."
Psalm 146:7-9
"As an example of suffering and patience, brethren, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. Behold,
we call those happy who were steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord,
how the Lord is compassionate and merciful." James 5:10-11
Exerteer
Instead of going to the gym and expending energy in meaningless repetitions and workouts, use volunteer work as a means
of both getting in shape and helping others. Nutritionists, dieticians and/or personal trainers would define calories burned
through such activities as 1/2 hour of painting, gardening, mowing lawns, shoveling snow or other such helpful tasks which
might be performed for the elderly (at home or in a low budget nursing facility), homebound, impoverished, overworked(as in
single parent household), mentally and/or physically disabled(and yet not already receiving assistance),
and any otherwise needy individuals or families. There would be group meetings which in addition to being a supportive
social, would also serve for skills training and education in the benefits of such fruiful excercise for body and, endlessly
more important, for soul. "Exerteers" could be served refreshments while working. There could be t-shirts and other give-aways
for different levels of participation and the ongoing project could be funded as a charity. It frustrates me so to see so
many people "working" at the gyms with nothing more than weight loss/ muscle gain accomplished. We can do so much more. Don't
just selfishly exercise, exerteer!
"Every athlete exercises self control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable."
1 Corinthians 9:25
"How much better to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver." Proverbs
16:16
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all those who do His commandments.
His praise endures forever." Psalms 111:10
"But if we say we love God and don't love each other we are liars. We cannot see God. So how do we love God if we
don't love the people we can see? The two commandments that God has given us are 'Love God and love each other!'"
1 John 4:20-21
Flowers Brighten Hours
My mom, the green-thumbed gardener, has beautiful flowers growing all round our Lindenhurst home. We get frequent compliments
from neighbors and passersby. The blooms and colors are so vivid and gay; they are among God's rich gifts and blessings.
How lovely to be able to share these with home-bound/ hospital-bed ridden individuals who may not already have a room full
of flowers. Walk down a hospital floor. Yes, some rooms have some beautiful(and probably costly) arrangements. Others are
monotonous, bleak, perhaps cheerless. This charity would grow dazzling arrays of flowers with the express purpose of distributing
them to all flowerless rooms where patients lie confined (temporarily or permanently) thus brightening their world, giving
hope as we will also deliver Christian pamphlets, and helping pass those long hours with something pleasurable to look upon.
From experience I can say a little can go a long way to better someone's day.
"And he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, and he
sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal." Luke 9:1-2
"Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy." Psalms 126:5
Homeless not helpless
Members of our international family wander streets throughout the world with nowhere to call home, no sense of privacy,
no source of decent clothing, no regular meal schedule, no personal bath, few places to sit and rest. We see them moved
out of tickets-only transportation waiting rooms(which are largely as such to prohibit these poor individuals from
sitting and resting), subways, even delis; we see them asking others for some help and often refused or ignored; wandering
aimlessly with sad, drawn, weary haggard faces; we see a cycle which needs our intervention through God to break.
The plan here is certainly not a totally new one. On 20/20 with Barbara Walters some years back, a Wisconsin man was featured
who had set up a "homeless not helpless type" facility and hopefully still operates it. God probably had
me see the show for the inspiration in his work.
This "homeless not helpless" facility would give each individual their own bedroom with a phone for local calls;
a shared kitchen and dining room where regular appetizing and heathful meals are prepared/catered(through donation) and served
in a safe, friendly and home-like environment;and several bathrooms for ample room and space for hygiene and such.
There will be a library room which houses many educational and how-to books which may help some to become plumbers, carpenters,
electricians, etc... A social worker will assess each individual case as to their abilities and needs. If they are mentally
stable and physically able, they may choose a viable career path which we would help them attain at the ground level..hoping
to land them a job in that field, at any level, for starters (if there are mental impairments or physical obstacles, they
will be addressed and treated accordingly; it may be that some may need possible short term or long term hospitalization,
which could help them to eventually return much improved). We would provide them with appropriate clothing for their new positions
and help them finance their budget. We would give them a transporatation and spend money allowance; strongly, lovingly discouraging vice
whilst assigning alcohol/ drug abuse counselors to suspected/confirmed cases. This would all be done in a Christian setting
and there would be several Bible study meetings offered and encouraged weekly. We would hope to overhaul the darkness of these
individuals' lives with the light of Christ's love.
"Blessed is he who considers the poor! The Lord delivers him in the day of trouble; the Lord protects him and keeps
him alive; he is called blessed in the land; thou dost not give him up to the will of his enemies."Psalm 41:1-2

Psalm 37:27
"The point is this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
Each one must do as he has made up his mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."
2 Corinthians 9:6-7
"As for the rich in this world, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on uncertain riches but on
God who richly furnishes us with everything to enjoy. They are to do good, to be rich in good deeds, liberal and generous,
thus laying up for themselves a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of the life which is life indeed."
1 Timothy 6:17
"Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back. And just as you want
men to do to you, you also do to them likewise." Luke 6:30-31
"Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into
your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you."
Luke 6:38
"But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection."
Colossians 3:14
International Brethren
This is the magazine which will encompass the vastness of relatively unknown global issues with vivid photographs and
detailed, sometimes alarming, stories. These will not serve to exploit those in perilous, or otherwise sub-human,
predicaments but to educate, enlighten, arouse sympathy and concern and ultimately generate support, from whosoever
is able in the form of voting (for caring politicians) and writing appropriate letters for action, volunteering
both locally and abroad, and in donating as generously as possible, for them. Where relief funds are not already in place,
we will start them and list the contact information, etc. We will list addresses of politicians and other pertinent
agencies. The cost of the magazine itself minus overhead will go to these various causes. Although monies from advertisers
will always benefit those neediest in our world family, advertisers will be selected for the content of their product,
position and theme. It is hoped that those with a good heart will seek out this magazine and contribute(through purchase,
spreading the news, writing in...) regularly. Moreover, it is hoped that those who traditionally haven't been charitable
will feel inclined with the love of Christ, through these touching true stories, to begin. We will publish, in addition to
global issues, selected articles and anecdotes from our readers as well as poetry, quotations from enlightened historic persons,
and most importantly and effectively, Biblical quotations.
"He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God."
Micah 6:8
"Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession
in the presence of many witnesses."
1 Timothy 6:12
"What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has not works? Can his faith save him? If a brother
or sister is ill-clad and in lack of daily food, and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled, without
giving them the things needed for the body, what does it profit? So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead."
James 2:14-17
"Even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees; every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down
and thrown into the fire."
Matthew 3:10
"So you, by the help of your God return, hold fast to love and justice, and wait continually for your God." Hosea
12:6
"Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one
another fervently with a pure heart." 1 Peter 1:22
"Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the brethren and for strangers."

International Cottage
In a large A-frame, seven-story "cottage", there shall contain a most unusual and wonderful array of merchandise from
around the globe. Each floor will represent a continent beginning with Australia, after first passing an international check-out
area with store logo gift items. The second floor would house Asia, followed by Africa, Europe, South America, North America
and finally Antarctica, a floor including ski-jackets, durable boots, and penguin plush toys. There will be among other
items: maps and educational materials; non-meat foods from each region along with cookbooks; clothing, rugs and linens; arts
and crafts;
novelty items and much more. It will be the quintessential gift shop as well as a place to educate and lessen
racism and prejudice based otherwise on ignorance. There will be an international restaurant as well as a
possible IHOP built in. A Christian theme will prevail which is, of course, all inclusive. This will hopefully
open many eyes and enlighten. The major portion of profits will go to the most pressing international cause/ relief fund.
This will be visible for awareness, support and motivation via a display in a prominent section of the establishment.
We would hope to open in many international cities.
"For God is not a God of confusion but of peace..."
1 Corinthians 14:33
"For the grace of God has appeared for the salvation of all men, training us to renounce irreligion and worldly passions,
and to live sober, upright, and godly lives in this world, awaiting our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great
God and Saviour Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all iniquity and to purify for himself a people of
his own who are zealous for good deeds."
Titus 2:11-14
"And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, as a testimony to all nations; and then
the end will come."
Matthew 24:14
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age."
Matthew 28:19-20
International Family under God Day
So many, if not all, countries have a day set aside as their national holiday. This is usually an anniversary of the day
in which they declared independance from another empire or had started their own. However, nationalism among other evils,
may serve to divide; to create niches and alienate others; to create sentiments of superiority of one people over another;
to foster envy, strife, greed, war. The United Nations does have a national holiday in October but few even know of it.
In addition to bringing more attention to UN day, we should create an International day which celebrates our world family
under God as a whole, praising God, including not just those countries which are UN members but everyone. Such a holiday
could help unify and nurture loving and bonding between all humans while thanking and praising God together for
his love and all our blessings..
"For as in one body we have many members, and all the members do not have the same function, so we, though many,
are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another." Romans 12:4-5
"He did not say this of his own accord, but being the high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus should die for
the nation, and not for the nation only, but to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad." John 11:51-52
"Then I saw another angel flying in midheaven, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to
every nation and tribe and tongue and people; and he said with a loud voice, "Fear God and give him glory, for the hour of
his judgment has come; and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the fountains of water." Revelation 14:6-7
"Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all rulers of the earth! Young men and maidens together, old men
and children! Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted, his glory is above the earth and heaven."
Psalm 148:11-13
"Sing praises to God, sing praises! For God is the king of all the earth; sing praises with a psalm! God reigns over
the nations; God sits on his holy throne. The princes of the people gather as the people of the God of Abraham. For the shields
of the earth belong to God; he is highly exalted!" Psalm 47:6-9
"Sing to God, sing praises to his name; lift up a song to him who rides upon the clouds; his name is the Lord, exult
before him!" Psalm 68:4
Isaiah of Africa(The Isaiah utterance)
In the Lord's prayer we pray for heaven on earth. We are taught by Christ to act as God's children. In the book of Isaiah
we are told that there will be peace and harmony between man and beast; that there will be no killing anymore. As children
of God we should be acting in accordance with this heavenly truth and so: not hurt animals or eat them; and try to prevent
them from hurting each other by supplying them alternative food choices such as mounds of veggie burgers. We have great abilities
with and through God if we cultivate our heart through the Holy Spirit in faith in Jesus Christ. This plan
is fairly elaborate and will be discussed with much detail in the "The Utopia Puzzle"(see below).
"The cow and the bear shall feed; their young shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
The suckling child shall play over the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand in the adder's den. They shall
not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover
the sea." Isaiah 11:7-9
"And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything
that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food. And it was so."
Genesis 1:30
"Happy are you who sow beside all waters, who let the feet of the ox and the ass range free." Isaiah 32:20
"But Jesus said to them, 'With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.'" Matthew 19:26
Manhattan Pethaven
Although this "shelter" would begin in Manhattan, eventually all major cities should have them. And it would indeed be
a haven for animals. There would be no euthanasia( no more"putting down" of healthy, homeless animals). Spaying and neutering
would be mandatory and free(unless an adopter intervened);no animal would be turned away( we would expand as necessary); donations
welcomed, no fees demanded. There would be on-site vets and technicians. A contract must be signed by any potential
adopter which would state that the animal would be returned rather than be neglected, abused or abandoned. These havens
would be in the cageless kennel style with rooms replicating living rooms, bedrooms and kitchens through which the various
animals would be grouped and allowed to live comfortably.
Eventually we would like to expand to townships as well, worldwide.
"The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the lion and the
fatling together, and a little child shall lead them." Isaiah 11:6
"Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven"
Matthew 6:10
RDR
The rare disease report. In my life I have known of two individuals with uncommon life changing diseases. Both have had
problems amassing information on their diseases. This monthly internet publication would identify such diseases as kerataconis,
a debilitating and painful eye disease where the retina separates from the cornea, and would indicate the current treatments
and progress. It would also include links to other available sites and would offer an internet support group for each disease
listed. Users could write in with their concerns which would then become part of the report. This would be sort of an oasis
for those flung far and wide with such conditions. As with all the projected projects, there would be Christian undertones
and overtones. Christ is He who opened my eyes and heart.
"But we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as
others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so , through Jesus, God will bring with
him those who have fallen asleep." Colossians 4:13-14
"Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by
the Lord; that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful." James 5:11
"Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all." Psalms 34:19
"And he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore
I will most gladly boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
2 Corinthians 12:9
RID
Ralphie's Indulgence Diet
This is a diet plan which I have created and used personally with real success. It is not too hard to follow. I
will be adding a free copy of this plan over the internet soon. I hope it helps many.
"for God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and self control." 2 Timothy 1:7
"it is right not to eat meat or drink wine or do any thing that makes your brother stumble." Romans 14:21
Rocks and Fire
The first movie idea. This film is both serious and humorous. It attempts to show the folly in turning to astrology for
definitives and answers to life's questions; to choose horoscope signs, planets and stars rather than God's divine guidance.
It is touching and sweet; thought provoking and, rather hilarious. The general summary for a script has been written.
"You are wearied with many counsels; let them stand forth and save you, those who divide the heavens, who gaze at
the stars, who at the new moons predict what shall befall you. Behold, they are like stubble, the fire consumes them; they
cannot deliver themselves from the power of the flame..." Isaiah: 47: 13-14
Sharity
This idea came in the form of a typographical error. Community sharing on a personal level: individual families offering
to open their homes to other families for a monthly dinner, or playtime for the children in their playroom with their children's
toys, a night out together. Perhaps a middle/upper-middle class family might be able to host a lower income family with reduced
abilities for such taken for granted pleasures.
Perhaps there could be a screening process (not to discriminate but to help find a family which touches your heart to
share with) and perhaps real friendships could be built.
"And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they partook of food with glad
and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those
who were being saved."Acts 2:46-47
Software
"Animan"
This will be an interactive educational game geared for children as well as adults. "Animan" will in fact be a transmogrifying
hero who polymorphs into any animal in the animal kingdom at will as befits the crime or catastrophe he is attempting to deter.
The user can choose the animal which would be best suited to the circumstance at which time the vital statistics and characteristics of
the animal would be listed such as his speed, sight, strength, hearing, dexterity in jumping, flying, climbing, etc... A general
format for the software has been devised . I look forward to playing with it myself as there will be nothing violent nor unwholesome
contained therein. Animan will capture criminals and accomplish feats of courage, prowess and heroism which teach and reinforce
kindness and duty to one another under God in love. It will also serve to teach respect, and develop a sensitivity and empathy,
for all our relative animals. The chivalric knightly(and Christian) feature of largesse shall be a defining characteristic
of Animan as a man.
"So out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air..." Genesis 2:19
Visions now Told, Missions Unfold
This is the second book I will complete. It will address wondrous visions through dreams which God has shown me. It will
help explain the urgency of my work. Hopefully, it will open up ears and eyes to the truth of our Lord's return and help prepare
and/or refresh His children.
"For these men are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day; but this is what was spoken
by the prophet Joel:
'And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh,
and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
and your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams;'" Acts 2:15-17
"...that the sharing of your faith may become effective by the acknowledgment of every good thing which is
in you in Christ Jesus."
Philemon 1:6
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the
nations." Jeremiah 1:5
"Oh, give thanks to the Lord! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples.!" 1 Chronicles 16:18
Working Classedness
This organization will meet to support each other in our vows of working/lower-middle-classedness, even, perhaps, of
poverty. We will be, among other social strata, otherwise wealthy persons who are keeping a tithe and giving away the rest.
"For this very reason make every effort to supplement your faith with
virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self control, and self control with steadfastness, and steadfastness
with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these things are yours and
abound, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ."
2 Peter 1:5-8
"And all who believed were together and had all things in common; and they sold their possessions and goods and distributed
them to all, as any had need." Acts 2:44-45
"For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself?" Luke 9:25
Utopia puzzle
My first book in progress. Covering a wide range of controversial topics from animal rights to a woman's right to choose;
from the Bible to vegetarianism, from gay marriage to the military and many others, this book will attempt to enlighten from
a truly Christian perspective. This is a mammoth undertaking but an important one. I have studied the Bible for some seventeen
years and have prayed earnestly for understanding and wisdom. I want to share what God has taught me.
"Do all things without grumbling or questioning, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without
blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the
word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain."
2 Phillipians: 14-16
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your father
who is in Heaven." Matthew 5:1
"Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, I am the light of the world. He who follows me shall not walk in darkness,
but have the light of life." John 8:12
"John answered,' Master we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he does not follow
with us.' But Jesus said to him, 'Do not forbid him; for he that is not against you is for you.'" Luke 9:49-50
"But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry."
2 Timothy 4:5
"Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiriual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness,
considering yourself lest you also be tempted." Galatians 6:1
