We are called by Jesus to share His message, to be lights for His kingdom. How do we make sure we influence the world instead of being influenced by the world?

• Righteous learning: Be careful who holds influence over your life. As believers, we must seek out righteous behaviors, foster discerning behaviors, and have discerning teachers so we can be blessed. 
• Righteous laboring: We must dwell in the word of God. Actively seeking out the truth found through the study of scripture.
• Righteous Living: As a result of righteous learning and laboring we will become examples of righteous living. Displaying the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
