Salt & Light

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Feb 6, 2011

1. Jesus was telling us not to live for the kingdom of the world, but the Kingdom of God. 2. Jesus is saying that we play an important role in the life of the world as salt and light. 3. Jesus was talking about a new way of obedience.

It is no accident that Jesus talked about us being salt and light immediately after he spoke the Beatitudes. It is in learning how to think as Jesus thought and live as he lived in submissions to God, that we become agents of healing and light in the world. It is when we live as people who do not ...read more

Make The Best Use Of Your Time

Contributed by Antonio Silveira on Feb 17, 2012

The two greatest enemies of transformation are regrets for things we did in the past, & anxiety about what will happen to us in the future. Many of us are living either in the past or in the future.
