Light in the Darkness


These essays are the written versions of  the video series “Light in the Darkness” pertaining to the current Myanmar crisis, which began with a military coup (Feb. 1, 2021). These essays are for all audiences, globally, who are looking for light from God. Each essay/video focuses on one spiritual truth, based on the teaching of the Bible, my faith journey as a Christian, and decades of experience as a minister and professor of New Testament and Christian Spirituality. The spiritual truths discussed are applicable for all those who are facing overwhelmingly difficult times and who are looking to Christ for guidance, strength, and courage to face their darkness.
