A Circle Of Influence

This little light of mine.

Matthew 5:14-16 TLB
You are the world’s light—a city on a hill, glowing in the night for all to see.  Don’t hide your light!  Let is shine for all; let your good deeds glow for all to see, so that they praise your heavenly Father.

         A Circle of Difference

1. Our Manner

Colossians 4: 5-6
Be wise in the way you act towards outsiders; make the most of every opportunity.  Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

1 Thessalonians 4:11-12
Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders.

2. Our Moment

Psalm 37:23 KJV
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD.

Proverbs 16:9
In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.

3. Our Message

1 Peter 3:15
Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.

2 Corinthians 5:17-19
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!  All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them.  And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
