Jesus told his followers to plunge themselves into the mainstream culture like a lamp in a dark room or salt added to a recipe. He is not afraid of a culture dominated by sin—in fact, the darkness of the culture only serves to accentuate the impact of his light.
Take a minute to reflect on where YOUR life intersects with mainstream culture. Is it social media? In your work? Among friends and peers? Make a quick list of these intersections.
Ask the Holy Spirit to show you one way that you can be a light today in one of those intersections. Don't dismiss any ideas that come to your mind, especially if they seem small and insignificant. Remember that a small match can light up an entire room. Put your faith in Jesus and follow his lead.

About this Plan
It's through our RIDICULOUS attention to everything Jesus said and did that we discover the truth about God, and the truth about ourselves. We learn everything about God we need to know by slowing WAY down to consider WHAT Jesus actually said and did, WHO He said and did it to, and WHAT the impact of His words and actions had on people. When we let our pursuit of Jesus guide our understanding of God and His story, we are transformed by what we discover.
