Salt And Light
You are the salt of the earth... You are the light of the world.
Matthew 5:13-14 NKJV

Christ's critics told the truth when they said, '"… He stirs up the people…' (Luke 23:5 NKJV). The apostles' critics told the truth when they said, They '"… have turned the world upside down…' (Acts 17:6 NKJV). Jesus and His disciples were 'Let's do something about it' people, rather than 'Let's not make waves' people. Which are you? Jesus said: '"You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavour, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out… You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all… Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father…' (Matthew 5:13-16 NKJV). The purpose of salt is to flavour, not to sit in a shaker. The purpose of light is to illuminate, not just be an accessory. Being shy, or inarticulate, or not knowing the Scriptures well enough to share them is not an acceptable excuse. You are the only Christian some people will ever meet, so a lot is riding on you. Jim Elliott, who died as a missionary and martyr, said: 'God makes His ministers a flame of fire. Am I ignitable? God, deliver me from the dead asbestos of 'other things.' Saturate me with the oil of your spirit that I may be a flame. Make me your fuel, flame of God.' Today, make that your prayer!
