Watch Your Influence

One Simple Truth
If you are not moving people toward Christ, you are moving them away.

Scripture
Mark 9:42 ‭ESV‬‬ (Read the Full Chapter Here)
“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.

To think that we are more protective of our own children than God is of His is to make a wild underestimation of how intensely He loves us. To the person who claims to belong to Christ, to have received forgiveness of sin and come to a knowledge of the truth, take care in how you lead others. You cannot control the actions of another, but you can control your influence upon them. If you are not moving people toward Christ, you are moving them away.

Prayer
Lord, help me to lead people toward You today, not away. In Jesus name, amen.
