Please Pass The Salt

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Sep 19, 2018

Jesus takes a simple image – no ambiguity - no hidden meanings - nothing out of the ordinary -- just common, everyday salt. Like the parables, Jesus uses a simple, concrete object to teach the people a profound lesson about the Kingdom of Heaven.

The Lord Shows His Excellence In All The Earth

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Sep 12, 2021

God’s excellence shines so clearly in all his works. The Lord could have crushed those who bore his image when we sinned, yet God was mindful of us. The glorious God who first stooped down to create us, then stooped down to save us through his only Son.

As we lead busy lives each week, we need to slow down. In the middle of the activity of work and school and home life and church life, we need to pause and ponder. For how often do we really think about who God is, who we are, and what to do with the few days on earth that God has given? It’s easy ...read more
