We all have a theological footprint and we have the power to imprint ours upon others.
You teach and, arguably more importantly, show those around you your understand about God, Jesus and faith.
Family.
Friends.
Workmates.
Associates.
Anyone who is aware that you are a Christian can, and will, examine your theological footprint.
This is even more true for those in ministry.
Now, your footprint is infectious.
To those in your bible study.
To those in the youth group.
To those you teach scripture to.
To those who hear you preach.
But, this transference is amplified again for those in Christian leadership.
Those on church councils and decision making bodies.
Those teaching in bible collages.
For, more often than not, theology trickles down from the head.
Good theology can infuse across entire denominations.
Poor theology will inject a toxin which will be increasingly difficult to diagnose and remove.
