Title: Clark Kent Christians: Are You Hiding Your Light?
By James Langston | joybells49.blogspot.com

A few weeks ago, I asked a question on TikTok that resonated with many and rattled a few:

“Are you a Clark Kent Christian?” https://tinyurl.com/npmrett3

You know—the one who looks ordinary, blends in, avoids confrontation, and never really lets the world know they follow Jesus. A mild-mannered believer by day… but never really showing up when the moment calls for truth and courage.

To my surprise, the video took off—nearing 1,000 views. The majority were supportive, but the pushback? That’s where it got interesting. Some felt the message was “too judgmental” or “unnecessary.” But I ask you this:

What does the Bible say about hiding your light?

Matthew 5:14-16 declares:

“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.”
“Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.”
“In the same way, let your light shine before others…”

That doesn’t sound like a secret identity to me.

🧂Salt and Light Isn’t a Suggestion—It’s Our Assignment

Christians weren’t called to camouflage faith. We were called to carry the truth, even when it’s unpopular. Even when it gets criticized. Even when it costs us friends, followers, or favor.

And let’s be honest—we’re living in a time where right is called wrong, and wrong is celebrated as brave. In a culture like this, being neutral is not being faithful. Silence is often compliance.

That’s why now—more than ever—we need bold believers. Men and women who aren’t ashamed of the Gospel. Who speak truth in love. Who walk with grace but refuse to bow to the gods of culture.

🔁 Righteousness Over Relevance

Someone once said:

“I’d rather be on the right side of righteousness than on the right side of unrighteousness.”

That statement speaks volumes. In an age of compromise, righteousness is revolutionary.

And Jesus made it clear—if we’re ashamed of Him before men, He will be ashamed of us before the Father (Luke 9:26). That’s not fear-mongering. That’s truth.

So ask yourself today:

  • Are you a follower of Christ in name only?

  • Have you allowed fear, pride, or comfort to silence your witness?

  • Is your faith visible… or disguised like Clark Kent?

If the world can’t see Jesus in us, then we’ve failed the mission.

✨ This is your reminder:
Take off the disguise.
Let your light shine.
Speak His name with boldness.
The world doesn’t need another hidden Christian—it needs a visible Church.

  🕊️ Why Should You — or Shouldn’t You — Attend Church? I’ve spent most of my life surrounded by the rhythms of church life. From Sunday School and Vacation Bible School to revival meetings, baptisms, and Bible studies — I’ve seen the full spectrum of what it means to “go to church.” Church has been a regular part of my routine, my upbringing, and my community for as long as I can remember. But here’s the truth: It wasn’t until I surrendered my heart and life to Jesus Christ at the age of 14 that I truly understood the biblical reason for going to church. 🙋‍♂️ So Why Do We Go to Church? Some people go because they’re trying to check the box. Others go because they feel guilty if they don’t. Some just need a little spiritual boost to get through the week. But none of those are the right reasons. Yes, Hebrews 10:25 reminds us: “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the...

We Cannot Face Satan On Our Own Terms — Only Through the Cross As Believers, we must never make the mistake of thinking we can confront Satan in our own strength, even by imitating how Jesus faced him during His earthly ministry. Jesus met the enemy as the sinless Son of God—perfect in obedience, unmatched in holiness, and without the corruption of sin that taints our human nature. We are foolish to believe we can meet Satan on the same terms. We are not Christ—we are His followers. And our power does not come from ourselves, but from what He has already accomplished on our behalf. The only way of true escape from the enemy’s grip is not self-effort, religious works, or spiritual bravado. It is to look exclusively to the finished work of Jesus at the Cross —where the battle was decisively won, and where the enemy was eternally defeated. At the Cross, Christ became our Substitute . Through His perfect life and His willing, sacrificial death, He conquered the powers of darkness on all c...

  ✝️ Christianity: Not Just Something You Do—It’s Who You Are There’s a dangerous misconception floating around today—that Christianity is a part-time hobby, a weekend ritual, or a list of dos and don'ts. But let me tell you from experience: Christianity is not something you do. It’s who you are. Or more accurately, it’s who you’re supposed to be. This month marks 53 years since I gave my life to Christ . I wasn’t looking for Him, but He was looking for me. And He used the most powerful vessel He could find— a praying great-grandmother , 63 years my senior, who refused to let hell have me. I didn’t understand God. I had no clue about heaven, hell, or the weight of eternity. But she knew . She saw past what I was into and spoke into who I was called to be. I’ll never forget the day she cornered me and said, point blank: “Boy, you are not going to hell! You will preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” It wasn’t a suggestion. It was a prophetic declaration fueled by relentless ...
