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.

God Doesn't Have Grandchildren 

Often times my sons and I will talk about spiritual things. They will initiate the conversation just as often as I do. They are interested. They want to know. They are eager to learn. Most children are, if given the opportunity. Often our conversations are lighthearted and doused with a little "Click Humor." Just yesterday, Zachary and I were talking about the Lord. As we were talking, I said, "Zach, I'm a child of God." Then I started to ask with a smile, "How does it feel to be God's grandson?" But before the words left my mouth, I realized that God doesn't have grandchildren. So that became the topic of our conversation.

By now, you've either got the point, or you have a wrinkled eyebrow and are wondering just what I'm getting at. Let me back up a little and explain. How does one become a child of God? By faith in the shed blood of our risen Savior, Jesus Christ. In Galatians 3:26, Paul writes to believers and says, "For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus."

Now what is a grandchild? Of course a grandchild is your child's child. A grandparent is your parent's parent. My grandfather is Garnet Click. His son, Ronald, is my father. I am a Click, because my father is a Click. He is a Click because his father is a Click. My grandfather is a Click because his father was a Click and so on. We were born into the Click family. The name was conferred upon each of us successively and I have passed it on to my sons who will someday pass it on to their children, who will in turn pass it on to theirs.

Perhaps someone reading this article has a mother, father or grandparents that are Christians. You did not and cannot inherit that. You did not automatically inherit Christianity because of your bloodline. God does not look at you and say, "That's my grandchild, because his/her parents are my children." No, it doesn't work that way. You do not get a "Free Pass" just because of the faith of your parents. There are many people who have had godly mothers and/or fathers who have never accepted Jesus Christ themselves. They may have grown up in church. They may be able to sing all of the songs and quote many of the verses. However, my friend, that does not make you a child of God. Romans 14:12 illustrates the truth that God deals with us as individuals. "So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God."

Are you relying on the faith of others or have you come to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ? Have you become a child of God? The only way to do that is through faith in the finished work of our risen Savior, Jesus Christ. Jesus said, "Ye MUST be born again." (John 3) Have you been born again into the family of God? There is no time better than the present. You can make today your spiritual birthday. The choice is yours. Choose wisely. Allow yourself to be adopted into the family of God. (Romans 8:14-25)
