WORLDCHANGER

2017 is here.  Exciting.

I know a lot of people are glad to see the '6' roll to a '7.'  Last year was not a good year for them.

Time and opportunity to start fresh.  The opening to change the world together is on us.

- You are the salt of the earth.
We aren't called to blast the world this year with everything we believe is wrong with it; we're just called to keep our virtue and pray for open doors of opportunity.  That will change the world.

- You are the light of the world.
The greater problem today isn't the presence of darkness, it's the absence of light.  Shine this year without malice; shine without judgment; shine without shame.  That will change the world.

- If God is for you, who can be against you?
Revolution doesn't just happen when you're in the majority.  History has proven that.  Someone said to me recently, 'Down thru the annals of time, the majority has always been right.'  That statement could not have been more ignorant or more wrong.  Even the secular world knows that isn't so.  Castro began a revolution with 82 men.  Jesus did it with even fewer.  It matters not how small you are if you have faith, vision, heart, passion and a plan of action.  Stay on God's side.  That will change the world.

- Do not be overcome by evil; overcome evil with good.
Let's not be mean-spirited in 2017, even when those who oppose us may be.  If we are, we have already lost the battle.  A soft answer turns away wrath.  Fight against pride in 2017.  Reach out instead of attack.  That will change the world.

- In this world you will have trouble; but take heart, Jesus has overcome the world.
Just as Jesus conquered every obstacle, so can you.

Be a worldchanger.

And be blessed.
