“Big brother is watching!” Well, in a sense people are watching and listening to you. No, I’m not referring to the cameras in every mall, school, airport, hallway or even the prolific array of drones set aloft to keep track of just about everything. They are watching you when you are agitated or impatient. They are taking careful note of your response to your family. They are encouraged to pay attention to God because of us or they reject a possible relationship with Him…also because of what they see in us. Any of us can make a huge difference in someone’s life for all eternity. So, what will it take? make a difference! (v.29) Our makes a difference! (v.30; Gal 5:16)

makes a difference! (v.31) makes a difference! (v.32)
