I wrote recently about the will of God and a helpful question, suggested by Andy Stanley: What would love require?

Here’s another challenge, this one from marketing blogger Seth Godin. Speaking of mass media on January 12, here’s some of what he wrote:

If it [mass media] is not for you, about you, or something you need to engage in, then who put it on your agenda?…Here’s something to consider: the world doesn’t get better when you spend more time engaging with mass media…But it does get better when you spend more time doing things that matter. Actions matter. (Emphasis mine)

Wow. There’s a question: will what I’m doing make the world better? That’s a good perspective on things we can be about:  good work, well done; deeds of love and mercy (holy moments); modeling godly character, ministering grace and love, … Small but intentional actions do change the world, and that may be a subject for another blog!

Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. (Ephesians 5.15, 16, ESV)

Whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.” (Matthew 10.42, ESV)

[Jesus] put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.” He told them another parable. “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened.” (Matthew 13.31 – 33, ESV)
