Are you Salt or Just Salty?

by Pastor Darryl K. Fields |  May 2, 2014

Servants and Saints, Jesus has called you the salt of the earth. (Matt. 5:13)  Have salt in yourselves… (Mark 9:50) In other words, this means hold onto your Christian character, conduct and conversation. ...but if the salt has lost his savor, where with shall it be salted?" it is henceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden uder foot of men.  Cussing is not Christian conversation, cheating is not Christian conduct and confusion is not Christian character. Have salt in yourselves… 
 
Paul told the Colossians, "Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person.”  (Colossians 4:5-6)  Are you seasoning with salt? Or are you just salty, burning, stinging and without flavor?  Seasoning means giving just the right amount to make better.
 
Salt that has it savor seasons and it saves that which would otherwise spoil.  Salt that is a sweet smelling savor purifies and preserves that which would otherwise be putrid. Salt that is not trodden under foot and is not a stumbling block, but transforms and adds taste to what would otherwise be bland. Salt influences and changes food and folks for the better.  This week season some people with salt.  Indeed, you are the salt of the earth!  Christians are to change the world and make this a better place.

Sincerely yours and Securely His,


Pastor Darryl K. Fields
