This is Chris here. Since my wonderful wife has already posted something for the day and posted yesterday, I won’t be very long.
I just want to share a point with y’all from this weekend’s FUSION retreat. Mike really brought the word and this was just one point from one of his messages this weekend. If you weren’t there, you really missed out! Here goes:
The purpose of influence is to speak up for those who have no influence!!
Can you say Huuuuuge?!! This is definitely my life mission!!
The scripture reference with the point is Psalm 72:8-14.
Check it out and let me know what you think.

This concept is HUGE! I think it’s a very important one because so many people live under the misconception that the purpose of influence is to promote oneself.
When Mike said that at Fusion, it almost came accross to me as a challenge: What will YOU do with your influence?
If you’re honest with yourself, you can admit that all of the status you have in this world was not won by anything you have accomplised, but was given to you by God, the ultimate authority. He gave it to you, and He gave it to you for a reason. Now the question is will you use it for His purposes or for your own?
