Delaware, a small state with some history, should not be underestimated. This is the birthplace of Jeff, the man who alters history. With the billions of ignorant two-footers swarming and infesting this planet, it’s high-time for a man to bring light back.
Jeff was always an underachiever. Small in frame and smaller in ambition, he favored couching in obscurity. Years of foster home brutality had taught him a lesson: stay in the shadow and avoid the light.
But when the Summer sun scares away the wimpish clouds, light takes center stage and pulls non-believers out of their fears.
On a Summer day, a speeding car passing through Delaware, runs Jeff over and leaves him slowly dying. By the time medics arrive, he is not breathing and has no vital signs. Few minutes later, after CPR, he takes a breath again and opens his eyes. BUT, this is not the same Jeff. This a man who left this planet, reunited with light and came back as hope.
He starts with Delaware. One after the next, disoriented Delawareans become beacons of light. His light then spreads through the rest of the fifty states and finally reaches out and illuminates the world.
Jeff spoke to me. He is soft-spoken and of few words. He told me I ‘can’ see the light when I close my eyes and go to sleep, when I suspend judgment and accept everything and when I become the silence between sounds and space between spaces.
I like Delaware.

WHAT DO YOUR CHURCH LEADERS BELIEVE? BY STEVE FINNELL
What do your church leaders believe? Do they believe what the Scriptures teach or do they believe the false doctrines invented by men? Far too often church leaders simply lack the courage to answer doctrinal questions and refuse to answer.
Mark 11:27-33 …..”The baptism of John—was it from heaven or from men?…….. 33 So they answered and said to Jesus, “We do not know…(NKJV)
The chief priests, scribes, and elders refuse to answer the question Jesus asked. They knew the answer, however, it did not fit their narrative. There are some church leaders today who refuse to answer when confronted with the truth if it does conform to their doctrinal position or their current practices. Many church leaders honestly do not know the truth and will normally answer even if it is contrary to Scripture.
Acts 4:8-12…..”Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” (NKJV)
Do your church leaders believe Jesus is the only way to heaven or do they believe the men who proclaim there are many ways to be saved?
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.(NKJV)
Do your church leaders believe what the apostle Peter said or do they believe those who claim immersion in water is not essential for the forgiveness of sins?
Hebrews 6:4-6 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again themselves the Son of God, and put Him to open shame.
Do your church leaders believe the Bible or do they believe John Calvin and his doctrine of “once saved always saved?”
Do your church leaders believe that all denominations who claim to be saved, are in fact on their way to heaven?
Do your church leaders believe that God gave multiple plans of salvation?
Do your church leaders believe, if you confess that Jesus is the Son of God you are a Christian washed by the blood of Jesus? Or do they believe in the terms of pardon mentioned in the New Testament Scriptures?
TERMS OF PARDON: FAITH John 3:16, REPENTANCE Acts 2:38, Acts 3:19, CONFESSION Romans 10:9, Water BAPTISM Mark 16:16, 1 Peter 3:21.
