I was listening to a podcast today that was describing a "black hole." A "black hole" is when a star explodes and the gravitational pull is so strong that it sucks all matter, even light, into it.
Jesus told us that we are the "light of the world." Paul said that as children of God we should "shine like stars in the universe." (Philippians 2:15). So, we are called to be stars, lights if you will.
But, what happens when our world explodes? When we get so consumed with sin that our faith explodes, that our lives become dark? We become black holes of faith. We suck everything to us, and rob the world of the light.
Unfortunately, I have known a few "spiritual black holes" in my life. You don't get there by having troubles. I have known MANY believers who have a stronger light because of troubles. You become a black hole by rejecting faith and becoming totally selfish.
The world needs our light... no more "spiritual black holes."
