What will you choose to be Shaken or Stirred in JESUS, will you allow the world to shake you into hiding making you ineffective  or will you have it stir you up to action to share the good news to let your light shine before all

 

Matthew 5:14-16 (King James Version)

14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot * be hid . 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
