Influencers (INFL)

We are all influenced by something. The question is not whether we will be influenced, but what will influence us—and what kind of influence will we have on others? In Matthew 5:13–16, Jesus calls His followers to be salt and light: people who don't simply reflect the culture around them, but positively influence it through the presence and power of God’s Spirit. Like a thermostat that helps set the temperature rather than a thermometer that simply reads it, Christians are called to live with a faith that changes the environment around them. Are we being shaped by the world, or are we allowing Christ to shape us so that we can influence the world?
