Our Text for this coming Lord’s Day (June 18)  is Ephesians 5:3-8, 

in V 8 notice the call to turn from Sin and, (not to perfectionism, legalism, sin-lessness), but, turning from sin we turn and imitate God; we walk in the light. 

This is the joy and revealed mystery of the church, God’s people—We get to walk in the light together,  not darkness, nor the shadows of half-religion/almost Christianity; but in humility and honest repentance before God, we imitate God walking with one another.

My companions are those who fear the Lord, Psalms 119:63. Over the years, my closest friends are not those whom I have most socially in common with, nor even those whom I have the most affinity for, but those which whom I have walked in the light with.  This is true fellowship and friendship.  

I John 1:1-7  That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life–  (2)  the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us–  (3)  that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.  (4)  And we are writing these things so that our joy may be complete.  (5)  This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.  (6)  If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.  (7)  But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
