5 and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood
Before refrigeration, meat was preserved by salt to prevent decay.
We, as a nation, have lost our salt!
In our hesitation not to offend people we are not sharing the power of God's word to stop the decay, that decay being sin.
I don't say this to judge because I too am under judgment from a Holy God who hates sin!
As a sinner, I know the power of Christ to save my soul!
As a sinner forgiven, I want to share this power with the world!!
Mark 9:49-50
49 For everyone will be salted with fire.
50 Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, how will you make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another."
Matthew 5:14-16
14 "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.
16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
We have surely let indifference creep in.
We must love people enough to share the gospel!
Father, loosen our tongues! Give us a pure heart to teach the gospel no matter the cost! Amen
