Application AS A BELIEVERS HOW DO YOU INFLUENCE YOUR WORLD AS SALT AND LIGHT?

Speech Behavior Faith Love Purity Application

Influence by modeling Author Unknown I’d rather see a sermon than hear one any day. I’d rather one should walk with me than merely show the way. The eye’s a better pupil and more willing than the ear. Fine counsel is important, but example’s always clear. The best of all the preachers are the men who live their creeds, for to see the good in action is what everybody needs.

Application AS LEADERS OF THE CHURCH HOW DO YOU INFLUENCE YOUR WORLD AS SALT AND LIGHT?
