EXAMPLE

-

How important is it to be a good example? Well, think of how many people we influence, many of us in the realm of our younger siblings alone. What kind of an example are we setting? I like the words in this song, by Joe Zichterman:

-

"Be An Example"

-

1st verse:
Many now are watching the footsteps that we take
Many soon will follow in the choices that we make.
So let us then be faithful to be what we should be,
And leave a good example that they can clearly see.

-

2nd verse:
Let us then be watching the weary, day by day,
Looking to encourage and to lead them in the way;
To run the race with patience, on Jesus fix their eyes,
And challenge them with excellence, that they might win the prize.

-

Chorus:
Be an example of the believers in word and in conduct;
Be steadfast in love, in faith, in purity of life.
For those behind us, let us stand within the gap and make a difference in their lives;
Be an example to follow Christ.
