- 4. 2Co 4:6-7 For God, who said, "Let there be light in the darkness," has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ. (7) We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.

- 6. Luk 11:33-36 "No one lights a lamp and then hides it or puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where its light can be seen by all who enter the house. (34) "Your eye is a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is good, your whole body is filled with light. But when it is bad, your body is filled with darkness. (35) Make sure that the light you think you have is not actually darkness. (36) If you are filled with light, with no dark corners, then your whole life will be radiant, as though a floodlight were filling you with light."

Editor's Notes
- Please take out your phone, this is an amazing communication and information tool but even this amazing tool shouldn’t be used in al situations.
- To tell you the truth our relationship is not working for me because you are too busy, and you know this. So thanks for everything but I am out. See you later. No text back neededEvery message is sent through a medium, and the medium is part of the message. What does it say if you text a break up like this. God also communicates through mediums or the better word media.
- This is the wonder of the Gospel, that we are God’s chosen media to communicate His love for man. Even though we are imperfect through us God’s perfect love is communicated. Jesus has been the only perfect medium that had no discrepancy between the message and the messenger. Our message is perfect but we are not, and this is what God chose. We are jars of clay that carry a treasure of indescribable worth.
- According to recent studies done by theAPA there is an alarming trend of the sexualization(e.g., dressed in revealing clothing, with bodily postures or facial expressions that imply sexual readiness) and are objectified (e.g., used as a decorative object, or as body parts rather than a whole person) of teenage girls in the media. Underage girls are increasingly portrayed in sexual terms in movies, television, music, social media etc. Young people are vulnerable to these media blitzes because they may find it harder to discern the message from the glamour of the media. The impact on young girls have been proven to be problems with body image, eating disorders, depression and self esteem. Sending nude photos of themselves (sexting) has become a new practice among teenagers who struggle to find identity but who have been taught how sexuality is identity. According to surveys done by the Girl Scouts and others 9 out of 10 girls are feeling the pressure to be thin, 31% of girls use starvation as a weight loss strategy. Boys are learning to see girls as sexual objects they don’t see them as whole persons but only as body parts.
