In examining the modern city as a space of fantasy through electric illumination, he studies how we are seeking-and should seek-new forms of darkness in reaction to the perpetual glow of urban lighting. You walked in darkness, in disobedience to God, since you belonged to the kingdom of darkness. You were a friend of the world and an enemy of God.

Edensor also considers light artists such as Olafur Eliasson and festivals of illumination before turning a critical eye to the supposedly dangerous, sinister associations of darkness. For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light (Ephesians 5:8) Before you were born again, you belonged to the world. He then considers the ways in which illumination is often contested and can be used to express power, looking at how capitalist, class, ethnic, military, and state power use lighting to reinforce their authority over space. Tim Edensor begins by examining the effects of daylight on our perception of landscape, drawing on artworks, particular landscapes, and architectural practice. From Light to Dark fills this gap, focusing on our interaction with daylight, illumination, and darkness. Despite this globally shared human experience in which spaces appear radically different depending on time, season, and weather, social science investigation on the subject is meager. Ever notice how someone in love has a glow about them? The glow that comes with remembering youвЂ™re JesusвЂ™ beloved will be a light to everyone you meet.Light pervades the world, and when it is not light, darkness emerges and is combated by electric illumination. DonвЂ™t hide your light or let Satan blow it out.ДЄs you go about your day today, remember that you have received ChristвЂ™s love. When Psalm 11:7 says, вЂњthe upright shall behold His face,вЂќ itвЂ™s talking about you. We were made in GodвЂ™s image and itвЂ™s Him that our hearts long for. And the more we experience of His love, the more we are compelled to sacrifice for one another and to submit to one another. As we grow in relationship with God, our eyes adjust and itвЂ™s hard to remember what life in the dark was like.Д®vidence of our old selves - sexual impurity, greed, and coarse talk - disappear as JesusвЂ™ love overflows from us. ThatвЂ™s how radically JesusвЂ™ love changes our view. When you step outside, your eyes take a minute to adjust to the brightness. Think of it like leaving a dimly lit office on a bright, sunny day. A Cinematic and Indie song that uses Acoustic Drums and Ambient Sounds to emote its Chill and Contemplative moods. This transformation to children of light happens as we follow JesusвЂ™ example and walk in step with the Holy Spirit ( Ephesians 5:7-10). JesusвЂ™ love illuminates a radically different way to live, transforming us and making us a light for others in the darkness. Paul explains how this works in Ephesians 5:7-10, writing, вЂњat one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. When we find life in Christ, we are raised out of the darkness of our sinful state and become a light in an otherwise dark world.

Remember the song вЂњThis Little Light of MineвЂќ? Although simple, the songвЂ™s lyrics are packed with truth.

The light of the darkness
