    A focus on salt as a distinctive flavour and a preserving agent as a metaphor for Christian distinctiveness in a pluralistic world.

    Intro: We are taught by Jesus in this passage that we are to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. But what do these words mean? It is important that we understand our purpose in this world and so we should endeavour to understand these metaphors that Jesus uses, that we might ...read more

    We are representatives to the Light of Christ in our world today to illumine His Truth to others.

    ONE THING I HAVE SEEN, TIME AFTER TIME, IN MOST WESTERN MOVIES AND TELEVISION SHOWS IS THAT JUSTICE CANNOT BE TRULY SERVED UNLESS THE REAL WITNESSES COME FORWARD TO TELL THE TRUTH TO CONVICT THE “BAD GUYS” TO KEEP THEM FROM LITERALLY “GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER.” IT IS A GREAT INJUSTICE IF THOSE IN ...read more

    Paul said “you ARE light”. Jesus said “you are the light of the world”. When we continue to behave like those who live in darkness, we are hiding the light that can transform the world. The only way to enlighten is to be light.

    Ephesians 5:8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the Lord. 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather ...read more
