The recent failed take-over of an NPO here and some personal events sparked me to think on the subject of influence.
When we come against Puralism and take a stand on certain issues of a certain values, the end result is definitely polarising.
But what's wrong with polarising? Bad cos at the end of the day, you reach nowhere with the group of people who disagree with you. On the contrary, you drive them further from the place you wanted to bring them towards - your values.
But if making a stand is not the way to go then.. what is?
I think maybe the answer is to offer a Biblical perspective in a wholistic manner, not just pertaining to the issue at hand, or the disagreement. Then let the people see the Glory of the Father and decide.
I need to grow. I need to learn how to effect change in communities/ people that I would like to see transformation in.
Grow Joyce, Grow.
