When The Light is Dark

If it's not graced, guided, guarded and governed by the light of truth it will fed by the light of darkness.

A tainted love touched and transformed by darkness… is not equal to a love touched and transformed by the light of Jesus, His grace and His truth. Seed, and it's origin, is foundational and fundamental to the fruit it will produce. Paul told the church "…because of the HOPE which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel, which has come to you, as it has also in all the world, and is bringing forth fruit, as it is also among you SINCE the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth…" (Colossians 1:3-6)
