Principles, not methods

   Very few businesses operate in the same fashion that they did fifty or one hundred years ago.  The reason is that times change.  A few are the same as they were ten or twenty years in the past.  The reality is that most successful businesses are constantly changing because the world around us is constantly changing.  Their principles may be the same, but their operations and methods have changed so that they can be more productive and efficient in the business they conduct. How can we let the business world be more effective at reaching people than we are?
   If you are reading this, chances are you are in the same business I am. Namely, reaching hurting and lost people for Christ.  Also, if you are reading this, you have already changed your methods of being able to reach people for Christ. If you came here through a link on Facebook, you are leveraging that technology to stay in touch with and reach out to others in a manner way beyond what you could have 5 or 10 years ago.
  Being open to finding new ways to reach others for Christ is one step. Sometimes, we don't have to completely change our methods but merely enhance them or maybe do a little remodeling. People have been striving to reach people for Christ more efficiently for many years.  Hopefully, you have have as well.  I guess the practical way of looking at it is, if I have the same amount of resources(time, energy, money) what way can I have an impact upon the most people? Or how can I have the maximum impact?  Allow yourself to be challenged by God every day to open your eyes to something new.
