CHURCH OF BONES
A preacher once categorized his congregation into five types of bones: (1)
Wishbones - folks wishing for better things, but not willing to work for them. (2)
Jawbones. – gossiping kind that put others in turmoil. (3) Funny bones - touchy
people who wear their feelings on their sleeves. (4) Drybones – true to faith but
dead as fossils. (5) Backbones - those who are the spiritual support of the church
and keep the body standing
It's fine to wish for better things, but let's make an effort to bring them about by
every means at our disposal.
There are some who need special help and attention to keep them faithful and
active. By lending this help, we are rendering a great service to them and to
ourselves. When we can strengthen someone, we become stronger in the process.
Finally, let us be patient, knowing that our efforts are not always rewarded with
success. We dare not become weary in well doing (Galatians 6:9), and we need to
pray to God to help us in our down times.
One of the most striking ways the Bible teaches us concerning
the power of influence is with the illustration of leaven. The statement,
“A little leaven leavens the whole lump” is stated twice in Scripture
(1Cor. 5:6, Gal. 5:9). In fact, the word “leaven” is used 11 times in the
New Testament and in each place it is used with reference to the
pervading power of influence. Now, leaven is a substance that causes
fermentation, like yeast, and when only a small amount is added to a
large lump of dough it ferments the whole lump. Thus, while it is small
in quantity that permeates the whole substance it comes in contact, so it
is with influence, meaning, that it only takes a little to have a great effect.
Now, influence can be either for good or bad. The kind of
influence we have on others is based on what we allow to influence
ourselves and if we are not careful, some influences may be slowly
corrupt and change us. One can see the influencing power of leaven by
the way it changes the dough’s shape and temperature. Thus, if we allow
the leaven of this world to influence us, our lives will slowly be changed
from what God would have them to be, into lives filled with worldliness
and sin. For, it only takes one companion with wicked thoughts and
lifestyle to gradually lead you into the same kind of sin. Likewise, evil
influences are all around us and if we are not careful, we could infect our
minds with filth and desires that God does not want us to have.
Therefore, we must focus on the good and have good influence on others
less we do wrong and be held accountable for our wrongful influence on
others.
Now, whether we think so or not, there is someone who is
watching us. Consciously or not, someone is being influenced by our
words and actions. Thus, what we do and say might seem insignificant,
but in reality, our influence has a far reaching effect. We have influence
in our community, in the work place, and especially in our homes.
Children are mainly molded by the kind of influence they receive from
their parents and children who are influenced by parents who are
worldly minded and insensitive toward sin, will grow up to have the
same mind set. Therefore, we must never allow our influence to become
a stumbling block to others. For as Jesus declared, “whoso shall cause
one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble, it is profitable for
him that a great millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he
should be sunk in the depth of the sea. Woe unto the world because of
occasions of stumbling! For it must needs be that the occasions come;
but woe to that man through whom the occasion cometh!” (Matt. 18:6-7
ASV). Now, what are you allowing to influence your life? What kind of
influence are you having on those around you?
