THURSDAY THOUGHT 4/17/08

“If you enjoyed your stay (your new product/our service), please not only let us know, but be sure to tell a friend.”  As a businessman, I’m big on networking, the power of mouth-to-mouth marketing.  One satisfied customer giving a referral to a friend or associate is the best kind of recommendation.  It is the single most effective way to connect quickly and powerfully with the right people.
 
It seems to me it’s the same with God.  I’m in a business conference this week.  Most of the attendees are old friends. Over time, many of us discovered (slowly and haltingly) that some of us are people of faith.  We got talking about that at dinner last night … openly and unabashedly.  As five of us talked, two other people at the table listened with quizzical looks on their faces.  We weren’t preaching or speaking in tongues, just talking about stuff from a Christian perspective. 
 
My point?  Wear your faith on your sleeve.  No, don’t stand on the street corner and hand out salvation pamphlets (unless that sort of thing really turns you on).  For me, that means wearing my cross (like a Tommy Hilfiger t-shirt for Christ), trying to act like a Christian, and not being afraid to thank God and mention His name in public when it seems appropriate.  Sooooo, enjoy this beautiful day and don’t hesitate to do some networking for God.  — jri
