Being the Salt and Light of the Earth: Full Article in Link

We all know that we are to be a light shining as a city on a hill. We are to be a light in a dark place. I think most of us have that one down. But what about the salt? Every sermon i have ever heard about salt the minister talked about us was this. If salt has not flavor, it had no value. If Christians make no effort to affect the world around them, they have little or no value. We should bring out the best in everyone around us. Pastors have also talked about salt being a natural preservative meaning we are to help each other from rotting spiritually. But here is the thing that grabbed me, i don't know about you but salt makes me thirsty. I think that movie theaters have this figured out. They put extra salt on the popcorn so you will get thirsty and have to buy the big $7 dollar drink. We are to be that way as followers of Christ. We should show the love of Jesus in a way that people looking at us thirst for what we have in Christ. Have them asking about the Living Water that the women at the well asked about and received.

I did!

Also, this link was to a blog post published on this website xxxchurch.com, of which I cut and pasted this word from.

xxchurch is a christian accountability website strictly regarding sexual sin. Periodically I like to go on and read the new posts.

This snippit came from the article written in the link. Which has since been changed to a new post which i just learned.
