WHERE IS THE SALTINESS?

“IN THE SAME WAY, ANY OF YOU WHO DOES NOT GIVE UP EVERYTHING HE HAS CANNOT BE MY DISCIPLE.” LUKE 14:23

“SALT IS GOOD, BUT IF IT LOSES ITS SALTINESS, HOW CAN IT BE MADE SALTY AGAIN? ” LUKE 14:34

In today’s world we see many who profess as to being Christians, but the fruits of their labor do not display their confession. They may be very faithful in going to church on Sunday but on Monday through Saturday they live by the world’s standards. Some live in anger, some in cheating, others in fear, doubt and worry. Our Lord tells us plainly that we must give up everything or we cannot be his disciples. We must live our live as testimonies to him, not just on Sunday but also the other six days of the week. We must understand his ways and we must let them manifest themselves in the way we live our lives. We must always put him first in our thoughts, our words and our actions. We must never lose our saltiness as a Christian. We must sell out to Jesus! We must stay on fire for our Lord Jesus and never let down. Our love for him must be allowed to grow each day and that growth comes from living our lives in him, putting him at the forefront of all of our situations and allowing our faith and trust in him to grow constantly. We must never allow ourselves to stumble over the things put in our path. By selling out to Jesus we throw all of our worldly ways out the window and concentrate on the graciousness and merciful personality of our Lord. He sold out for us, and we are to sell out to him. Stay salty! Never get stale in your beliefs! Always stay active and faithful! Our Lord never fails us but is always faithful! PRAISE THE LORD ALWAYS!
