Surely, love is the most powerful influence of all. Not smarmy love, but selfless, sacrificial love. Consider the account of Naomi and her daughter-in-law, Ruth. Ruth admired her husband's mother, deeply desired to remain with her after he died, and was even convinced by Naomi's example to follow the God of Israel. Think of that: so powerful was Naomi's love that it won Ruth's loyalty -- not only to her, but to God Himself! Folks, you and I have the opportunity to wield such influence, especially in our own families.
