“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”
Ephesians 5:11
Although we live in the world, we must remember we are not of it. Our mission is not to fit into the patterns of this world but to stand apart. It is not enough to merely proclaim that we are the Light; we must actively avoid any association with darkness and refuse to participate in deeds that contradict the Light of God.
Moreover, we must go beyond personal avoidance of sin—we are called to expose darkness. We may find ourselves in situations where, although we are not directly involved in ungodly actions, we still have a responsibility to speak out and reprove such deeds. Whether we encounter these acts within the church or in the world, silence is not an option. God expects us to stand for truth and righteousness by casting light on all that is unfruitful.
Charge: Let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of Light.
