Who's Influencing Who?

Just wondering. Considering the state of the Church, in America in particular and the West in general, is the World influencing the Body of Christ more than the Church is influencing the World?

I'm just asking. We have been commanded to be light and salt in the world, but it seems like we're losing our saltiness.

I will do something to reverse the trend. I will, "Be Bold."

That's my rally cry this year. Be Bold in all areas of my life. I am not a bold person, by nature. I am very cautious actually, to a fault. Yet, I'm resolving that boldness for God is better than mediocrity I have been living.
