To Change The World

Here are 10 Ways to Change the World. I'm not giving you a
thesis on world transformation. 10 ideas. Take them or leave
them. If enough people embraced them, the world would be
changed for the better.
10 Ways to Change the World NUMBER 1:
Help alleviate world poverty: Sponsor a child, do a mission
trip, advocate government for policy changes.
10 Ways to Change the World NUMBER 2:
Put a trolley away at the supermarket: Even better, simply
clean up after yourself. Look after the environment. Put away
your trash at the fast-food chain.
10 Ways to Change the World NUMBER 3:
Exhibit generosity: Buy a homeless person a meal. Pay for
someone's parking. Give generously. Give of your time.
Volunteer. Help the local club fundraise.
10 Ways to Change the World NUMBER 4:
Cook a needy family a Casserole: Show hospitality. Run a
community lunch. Bake some bread for your next door neighbour.
Be the one who gets the conversation started, and the people
interacting. Even show hospitality to those who least expect
it.
10 Ways to Change the World NUMBER 5:
Shout someone coffee. Well it might not change the world, but
it may well help with a bad mood and a tiring afternoon.
10 Ways to Change the World NUMBER 6:
Smile as your walk down the street. Furthermore, let optimism
characterise who you are. Lift people up, instead of tearing
them down. Let your humour shine!
10 Ways to Change the World NUMBER 7:
If you are going to be a leader, lead from a servant
perspective. Lead with conviction, purpose and integrity, not
with control, authoritarianism and manipulation.
10 Ways to Change the World NUMBER 8:
Be a follower of Jesus. Live the way Christ lived. Follow him
and the world will change for the better.
10 Ways to Change the World NUMBER 9:
Promote and Express Godly Values. Technology may shift and
people come and go, but there are some values that should
outlive all of them; namely love, compassion, joy and peace.
10 Ways to Change the World NUMBER 10:
Love Your Neighbours. Simple. And who is your neighbour?
Everyone.
