[Manna - September 9]
That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; holding forth the word of life. Philippians 2:15,16
IT is the duty of every child of God to be very active
in the dissemination of the Truth—in letting his
light shine, and in keeping it trimmed and burning.
"Trimmed and burning!" what does it mean?
It means
that we must give very close attention to the words
of life that we may come to an exact knowledge of
the Truth, and that we must carefully and faithfully
trim away every vestige of error as fast as it becomes
apparent to us—whether it be an error in doctrine
or in our daily walk and conversation—so that the
pure light of divine truth may shine out with as little
obstruction as possible through the medium of a clear
and transparent character. Z.'03-358 R3243:3
