Hi, I'm Robert Jeffress, and I'm glad to serve as your Bible teacher every day on this great radio station.

On today's edition of Pathway to Victory.

You know, God left us here, not to isolate ourselves from the culture, not to identify with the culture, but to influence the culture.

And yet, I think you'd have to agree with me on the whole Christians aren't doing that great of a job of influence the culture, are we?

Welcome to Pathway to Victory with author and pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress.

As Christians, it's perfectly natural to want to protect ourselves and our families from the negative influences of culture.

But history shows that those who lead significant lives strive to influence the world, not isolate themselves from it.

Today on Pathway to Victory, Dr. Robert Jeffress shares why we ought to love and care for the people around us.

Now here's our Bible teacher to introduce today's message. Dr. Jeffress?

Thanks, David, and welcome again to Pathway to Victory, as we continue our teaching series called Choosing the Extraordinary Life.

It's a study that revolves around the incredible life of the Prophet Elijah.

To help you see the relevance of his life, I've put together an exclusive resource for you. It's called the Elijah Map.

And I want you to have a complimentary copy, while supplies last, just for contacting us today at ptv.org.

The Elijah Map shows you some of the significant sites in Elijah's life and ministry.

Now, I've also written a best-selling full-length book to coincide with this series called Choosing the Extraordinary Life.

The subtitle of my book is God's Seven Secrets for Success and Significance.

If you happen to have a copy of my book already, make sure to request one for a friend or a family member.

Many are choosing to use this book in the Accompanied Study Guide in their small group Bible Study or Sunday School Class.

And my book is perfect for that because of the Life Application Guide and even the Video Series that comes with it.

When you give a generous gift to support the ministry of Pathway to Victory, I'll make sure these resources are sent to your home.

Well, yesterday we addressed the first secret for choosing the Extraordinary Life, discovering God's unique purpose for you.

And on today's program, we'll venture into that second secret. Are you ready? I've titled today's message, Determine to Influence Your Culture.
