Having a lot to learn
On this page, I share a layout on what my regular blog writings will be about. They focus on relationships, something I have a passion to build in myself and others. Unfortunately, today’s topic was one of which I was not quite ready. You see, I’m still learning how to build influence. I think and pray about it all the time: “How can I begin to influence new people, new friends, in my life?” Jesus said, “You are the light of the world” but I don’t feel like it a lot of the time. I feel like there’s a lot more to be done, and I want to be a part of that. I hope you’ll be a part of that with me as I write and study and learn how to influence people to love God and love people more. So let’s get to it. I hope next week I’ll have a great story of how I’m learning the topic of influence in a big way.
Oh boy, I have a lot of work to do.

We all are making an influence on others… Is it a positive influence? When I first became a Christian it just did not want to have a bad influence on my firends. I did not want to sin or join in a sin crowd. Now I find that committing the sin is less of the issue but more of influencing others to not sin themselves. I can walk away from a group of co-workers involved in gosip but it is another this to stand up a say “Hey, this is wrong.” Jesus did not aviod the temple when it was over run with thieves but he wove a whip and kicked some butt – with a zeal for his Father’s house. I know I need to have a more positive influence to help others…
