Song Of The Month:
None But Jesus
Bible Verses:
Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ... Philippians 1:27a
You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Matthew 5:13-16
Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, inconduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12
Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” 1 Corinthians 15:33
Devotion:
In June I was a junior counselor at a kid's camp for a week. I was with two senior counselors in charge of 8 girls ages 8-10. There was a total of 60 kids all together at the camp. It was a wonderful experience being an influence in the lives of children. This brings me to my topic this month. Are you a good influence to those around you? The kids were always watching you and noticing what you did and said. When people are watching you do they see Jesus in the life you live? Perhaps you have younger siblings you can be a good role model for. We can also be positive influences on our friends. If you are an adult that is reading this and are thinking it may not apply to you, that is not true! Young people are watching you and how you react to those around you and to the situations in your life. It can make a big impact on us when we see you react in a Godly way, or in a fleshly manner. I think it is a good challenge to all of us whether young or old to remember that people are watching how you act. Even when you think no one is watching, God is always watching and He sees everything you do.
Let us be a positive influence to those around us and may they see the Lord in us!
Love & Prayers,

STAY STRONG IN THE LORD!
