Perhaps you learned of this site after reading a free gospel card, or maybe you've wandered here from somewhere online. Either way, welcome to the Lamp for Dark Times (LDT). What began as a place to organize my own beliefs has become a resource to help answer questions for others regarding the biblical Christian faith. Amongst other things, you'll find audio books and articles, sermons and music, and all of it is free.
Can this site help you?
There are only three types of people, as it regards Christianity: Outright unbelievers, false converts, and those who have been truly born again by the Spirit of God. You are one of these, and which type you are when you die will determine your eternal fate. Boast of your health now; you'll live one, ten, fifty more years, but from death on is forever.
Jesus said that unless you are born again of the Holy Spirit you cannot enter the kingdom of God (John 3:5-7). If you aren't living a holy life now, you have the
first clue that you haven't been born of God, because His children are created after His image. The content of this site is organized to help each of the two former types of people see their need to become the third.
You may say, "Christianity isn't for me, it's not even true." By God's grace perhaps I can help you to see otherwise, because unless you are born again you will perish forever. Or maybe you say as I once did, "I already believe in Jesus. I said a prayer, and now I go to church and pray. I read my bible often and witness to others. I don't curse or watch terrible movies. If anyone is saved, I definitely am." I warn you that the very nature of false conversion is to not perceive your lostness. There is a far cry of difference between what is accepted in the Western Church as "true faith", and faith which saves.
May the information on this site help you to "work out your salvation with fear and trembling", "making your calling and election sure." (Phil.2:12, 2Pet.1:10) For God's sake and the sake of your soul, browse the articles, audio files, and links. May God's Holy Spirit grant light to your path by the grace of Christ.
