are you salty?

You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.

—Matthew 5:13

We had a sermon at church a while back about this . . .

Salt is a preservative – it helps to keep food from going bad.

If we are salty, we should be preserving the word of God, right?

Jesus never wanted us to give up our moral distinctiveness, our redemptive influence, nor our loving impact on those around us.

The purpose of our presence in the world is to preserve our culture from further decay and season the bitter world with grace and mercy.

Are you salty?

Have a blessed day!
