what kind of example are you? are you the kind of man whose life serves as a genuine example of righteousness? does your behavior serve as a positive role model for others? are you the kind of believer whose actions day in and day out, are based upon kindness, faithfulness, and a love for the Lord? if so, you are not only blessed by God, you are also a powerful force for good in a world that desperately needs positive influence such as yours.
Philip Brooks had a simple advice for believers of every generation; he said, "Be such a person, and live such a life, that if every person were such as you, and every life a life like yours, this earth would be God's Paradise." and that's precisely the kind of christian you should strive to be.....but it isn't always easy.
you live in a dangerous, temptation filled world. that's why you encounter so many opportunities to stray away from God's commandments. resist these temptations! when you do, you'll earn God's blessings, and you'll serve as a positive role model for your family and friends.
Corrie ten Bloom advised, "Don't worry about what you do not understand. Worry about what you do understand in the Bible and do not live by." and that's sound advise because your families and friends are watching.....and so, for that matter, is God.
remember this: your life is a sermon.....what kind of sermon will you preach? the words you choose to speak may have impact on others, but not nearly as much impact as the life you choose to live. good day all !!!

"In our faith we follow in someone's steps. In our faith we leave footprints to guide others. It's the principle of discipleship." Max Lucado
