are not, so that He may nullify the things that are, so that no man may boast before God.10 As the people of God, chosen by God, called forth into mission with Christ, we must allow the Holy Spirit to work a deep humility into us . This begins with the simple understanding that God chooses, as it says in 1 Corinthians, the foolish things of

something else (e.g., fitness), I do so through one of these four lenses. 10. Your post is about you. Unless you are a megacelebrity, readers don’t care about you. Not really. They care about themselves. They want to know what’s in it for them. Your personal stories can be a doorway to that, but in the end, the best posts are about your readers’ needs, fears, problems, or concerns.

you are delighted—yes, delighted!—to offer. If you don’t, then your attempt to build a platform is doomed to failure. If you create outstanding products, everything else becomes much easier. Apple spends a fortune on product development. But relatively speaking, it doesn’t spend much on marketing. Nevertheless, when it
