Charles Swindoll Quote
Make your life count by being a beacon of Christ and the gospel for everyone around you.
From Matthew 5:14-16: “You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. People do not light a lamp and put it under the bushel basket; rather, they put it on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.”
Charles Swindoll (born 1934) is an American pastor and Christian author.
