daily word

You are subject to carefully crafted and expensive advertising and other media campaigns in an attempt to influence your behavior. You make an effort to resist these outside influences so that you may make your own decisions. Do you think of yourself as not being very influential in comparison to these carefully designed efforts? Yet the repeated exposure has made you wary and defensive, and even those who design these productions realize that the counsel of a friend carries more weight than their expensive efforts. You may not be able to reach millions, but you have more influence with those you know personally than all the mass promotional campaigns aimed at them. Use this influence on behalf of the gospel and the Kingdom of God.
