salt of the earth
Pgee’s sermon today was from a very familiar passage.
Salt and Light – Matthew 5:13-16
“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.
“You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
This passage from the sermon on the mount I’ve read many times and studied it many times in different bible study groups. Pgee did a really good job of summing it up. Wherever we are, we should make such a positive impact that people will praise God. Well okay, it basically is just rephrasing the last verse of the passage. But he made a point that really stuck with me. He asked the question, are we sending mixed messages with the way we living our lives? Does the message of what I say and the message of how I live my life both act together to cause others to praise God?
