A Brief History of Light for Living. 

Light for Living began as a writing ministry of Pastor Gary Click while pastoring the Calvary Baptist Church in Clinton, IN. His articles were published in the local newspaper, The Daily Clintonian. They were also distributed to email subscribers and several were posted on this website. 

Shortly after assuming the pastorate of the Fremont Baptist Temple, Fremont, OH, he was approached by Pastor James Lewis and chief operator, Brian Benedict about providing a two thirty-minute Radio Programs for the weekend. (WHVT 90.5 fm) At this point, Pastor Click's writing ministry transformed into a radio ministry.

Due to time constrains, the weekly devotional gave way to the radio ministry. However, these devotionals are still available online through the Light for Living Archives.

Pastor Click is still active in writing bible studies, dramas and devotional articles for other applications. We hope to make those resources available soon.

Believers But Lost 

Do you believe in God? Most people do. Occasionally, I have encountered someone who claims that they do not believe in God. More often I encounter those who believe in God but have no relationship with Him. They often say things like, "I believe in God, but…" Some how they feel that by tipping their hat to God and acknowledging His existence that makes them good people and they will be accepted by Him.

The greatest extent of their religion is to believe that God exists. They do not care to know much about Him. They have no regard for His plan for their life. Somehow they think that acknowledging the obvious is a commendable feat that will earn their spot in heaven. However, God's Word teaches us something vastly different. It is not sufficient to simply know that God exists. Have you ever noticed James 2:19? "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble."

This verse of Scripture should be especially sobering to the casual believer. Mental ascent to God's existence is not sufficient to save. If it were the devils would be in heaven. They know more than anyone that God exists. We do not deserve a "pat of the back" for simply acknowledging that God is. God expects more of us. What more does He require? Listen to the words of John the Baptist. "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." (John 1:12) Not only must we believe, but we must receive. We must accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. This is an act of the will. Paul helps to clarify this in Romans 10:13, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved."

Jesus said it a little stronger in Luke 13:3, "except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." Jesus demanded a decision. People needed to turn from rejecting Him to receiving Him. Simply acknowledging His existence and His presence was not enough. People needed to turn to Him.

A young lady may be very much in love with a handsome young man, but she will never be his wife until she accepts his proposal for marriage and acts upon that decision. I'm very happy for you if you believe that there is a God. That is a very important first step. I'm even happier if you love God. But will you take that final step and accept His proposal? Will you call upon the Lord to forgive you for your sins? Will you receive Him as your personal Savior today? Oh, how wonderful it would be today to have your name officially written in the Lambs Book of Life. (Revelation 21:27)

"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." (Hebrews 11:6)
