In this sermon Bishop explores the temptation for believers to CHASE SHADOWS (people, places and ideas) that are contrary to the light that we are called to be. We are called to be light as Christ is light within us. When we CHASE SHADOWS we fight to preserve an altered perspective and harmful, untrue reality. GOD would not have us to desire those spaces that lack light. In the scripture referenced, we are called to refrain from acts of darkness. Colossians 3 8 But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.
