the desire for authenticiy.
If you’ve ever collected something before, you’ll know how important authenticity is. If you’re buying something, you would want to know it’s the real thing; that it’s not just some fake. Because if it wasn’t really what you were looking for, then it’d be no use to you. But authenticity doesn’t just apply to objects it applies to a lot of things too; ’cause deep down inside we all value authenticity to some degree.

Contagious – as children living as the salt and light of this world.
You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men.
You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden. Neither do you light a lamp, and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house. Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

Recently I’ve been learning about how to become a Contagious Christian (CC) and I guess I’ll post a series of things I’ve learned from sermons, sunday schools and readings[1] I’ve been doing. And hopefully you too can become a vessel for this infectious faith we carry and spread it to those we meet.
Ever heard of the business pyramid?
If you havn’t, the pyramid works in a way such that the boss is at the top of the pyramid, with lower ranking employees under it. Of course at the base of the pyramid lies it’s customers – and like the shape of a pyramid suggests there are fewer ppl on the top, and numerous on the bottom.
well, a man suggested after lots of research to implement a ‘reverse pyramid’ program at the company stating that we should have customers first. and of course that kind of sounds obvious, but we all need the reminder every now and then.
and likewise, although God is at the top of our pyramid – we can’t forget that God loves his people too. and that we need to put his people higher up on our priority list.
