Be Salty
Jesus, in words to his followers, said in Matthew 5:13, "You are the salt of the earth." That's you. That's me. Salt. Salt influences everything where it's spread. Whether you use it on a steak, french fries, or put it in a glass of water- salt changes things. Salt preserves things and adds flavor, but it is also critical for life.
The average adult has more than a 1/2 pound of salt in his or her body. And here's the thing- salt's influence is lasting. You can't 'unsalt' what has been salted. When you walk into a room, do you bring 'salt'? Do you add flavor? Do you preserve what is good and pure and wholesome?
Do you bring something into the room that people desperately need in order to live? You should. Why? Because you ARE the salt of the earth. The only way to lose your 'saltiness' is to keep it in the container. The world desperately needs what you bring to the table. Be 'salty', and you will be blessed! -Pastor Brad
