The influence that I urge upon you is me, my Holy Spirit, present and active in and through you into the culture you step each day of this journey. As salt flavors and preserves, and as light illuminates, so I flavor, preserve, and illuminate you and radiate through you to people I lead you to engage. Remember, this influence is not something you exercise to impress me, it is something I do as you follow me on my terms...close, personal, and submitted to me and my way. Enter the day conscious of my presence and watch my influence at work flowing naturally from you.
Matthew 5:13-15
You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless. You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house.
John 15:5
Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.
