"This is the most important book I’ve ever written. It has completely transformed my life. I believe the truth it shares has the power to transform yours as well." — Rick Renner

The lands and the teaching of the Bible spring to life in A Light in Darkness, Volume One, in which Rick Renner takes you on a journey back to the formidable times of the early Christian Church.

Articles by Rick Renner

Darkness Cannot Overcome the Light!

I know of no great Christian leader who hasn't faced some kind of opposition as he or she sought to do God's will. But the truth is that darkness does not have the power to over­come light! Every believer can overcome any attack if he or she won't quit first!

A Picture of Who You Used To Be!

When browsing through old photographs, does it ever make you drift back to moments in the past that are precious to you or perhaps not so pleasant? Photographs are reminders of who we were back then, what we once looked like, what we once did, and so on. Ephesians 2:2 is like looking at a photograph of what you were like before Jesus Christ came into your life. It says, "Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience."

Why Jesus Compared Unforgiveness to the Sycamine Tree

Before we can understand what Jesus taught about getting rid of bitterness and unforgiveness, we first need to see why He used the sycamine tree to illustrate these destructive forces. Was there a particular reason why He didn't use an oak tree, an apple tree, or a palm tree in this illustration?

The Lance of Prayer and Supplication

When Paul wrote his epistle to the Ephesians, he spoke extensively about the armor of God, urging believers to use their spiritual weaponry. However, as you study this full list of weaponry, it seems that the lance or spear, a key weapon, is missing. But although Paul didn't explicitly mention the lance, he did tell believers to take up the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:11), implying a complete set of weaponry. We can therefore assume that Paul must have intended to include the lance or spear in this set of spiritual equipment.
