Lighthouses, my mother loved them, so one day I was looking at how they worked. And I realized there are some parallels we can draw from them in our own lives. D.L. Moody once ended his sermon by appealing to his audience saying brothers the Master will take care of the great lighthouse, let us keep our lower lights burning. Among those in attendance was Philip Biss who was a very well known hymn writer. After hearing this message he penned the words, “Let the Lower Lights Be Burning” to music from this most striking story and it ended up becoming one of his most powerful hymns. 

Where are lighthouses? Of course they are along the shore. Ask yourself, if you found a lighthouse in the middle of Kansas is it doing it’s job like the one’s along the shore? When is a lighthouse needed the most? Is it needed during the day? No, it is needed in the dark.  In this lesson we will talk about light and darkness as they are portrayed in the bible. You are not in darkness, you are in the light (1 Thessalonians 5:4-5).
