VERSE OF THE WEEK
Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate the good. Whoever does good is from God; whoever does evil has not seen God. – 3 John 1:11
Influencers
An influencer is someone, or something, whose personality, opinions, or convictions carry weight. In the realm of social media, an influencer is someone who has carved out a niche for themselves as being credible or authoritative. These folks may influence thousands – and in some cases, millions – of followers with their particular message, recommendations, or promotions. Across entertainment, fashion, lifestyle, and technology, you will find very few who focus on what matters to God. Influencers look to acquire followers and imitators. The apostle Paul states in Ephesians 5:15-16, “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time because the days are evil.” Take stock of who and what are influencing you most today and who gets most of your time. Are you learning from those who are seeking to reflect Jesus and His message? Be discerning about whom you follow so that your faith walk influences others for His Kingdom.
