Lead by Example




Read the article below or watch the video here or on my channel




Was thinking of the idea of leading by example and I think that’s one aspect of what it means to walk as children of light. Ephesians 5:8 says, “For ye were sometimes in darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light.”

In our “walk” we are physically setting an example by each action for others to observe. Each of us has way more influential ability than we may realize. Whether it is in our home to our loved ones and children, our work, our community, in church, and most especially these days, on social media, we are constantly setting an example by our actions. It is important therefore that we constantly review our actions to make sure they align with all that is good and just and light. It is easy to slip off into negativity as we allow others to influence us rather than the other way around where we should be influencing them. Stop frequently throughout the day to re-set yourself to make sure you are walking the walk.

We can greatly influence others in both small and big ways so take the time to make sure your influence is of the light in all things to all people. Remember, actions speak louder than words. “Now the God of peace . . .  Make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well-pleasing.” (Heb 13:20-21)

In the words of Mother Teresa, "We are supposed to preach without preaching not by words, but by our example, by our actions."

Bible Will Teach You How to Know Your Enemy; Know Your Self

When we study the Word, and we are given the ears to hear, and the ability to discern, we can then be confident of the truth from wherever it comes. Last night in re-watching the movie, “Birth of the Dragon,” I was able to understand so much more due to my Bible studies. From the movie, “Lesson number one, know your enemy. Lesson number two, know your self. With these two principles, you need never fear a thousand battles.” This was so heavy and so profound and I got it on such a deep spiritual level regarding all facets of life (not just regarding two men in physical combat). The Bible has shown me how to know my enemy and to know my self and therefore not fear. When we truly understand that we are an eternal child of God, then we know our self . When we understand that anyone or thing (including our own thoughts) that is not in the light of God is of the darkness (even those lost in the gray), then we know our enemy.  Jesus said in Mathew 12:30, “He t...

He Will Make My Feet Like Deer's Feet

There is a tree out my window with branches that look like a stag. I have been contemplating it for years. Sometimes I forget about it, others I see it. The tree stag has been jumping out at me recently again.  I looked it up and found a couple quotes on websites, “the stag came to symbolize God’s power, nobility, freedom and purity.” In Scottish lore, it symbolizes regeneration because of the antlers. “In the Christian imagination, the deer is a symbol of piety, devotion and of God taking care of his children: men.” “In it's simplest form, deer symbolize the joys of loving Christ intimately (Song of Songs 2:7). In biblical symbology, deer represent piety, devotion, and safety in God's care. They are a symbol of thirst and longing for the Lord. ... Deer feet are an analogy for our spiritual feet.”  There were also a couple saints associated with the stag as divine encounters. It basically represents something good in every culture, but I went with the Scottish...
