WE ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH!

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: “You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? Matthew 5:13

TODAY’S MESSAGE: I don’t know about you, but I love my salt. Salt gives flavor and a little more excitement to your food. Jesus uses this as a comparable to you and me in this world. We are representatives of our Lord God in heaven. We have been chosen to be living testimonies on his behalf. However, many in this world consider religion to be boring and without excitement. I would have to agree that religion is just that. But you and I are presenting a different picture to the world. We are presenting a relationship experience to the world and not a religious experience. We are representing a way of life and not a Sunday morning experience. In doing so, our Lord has given us access to ways to show others how our relationship with Jesus adds spice to the life we live. It is exciting to know Jesus. It is exciting to be able to pray to him anytime we want or need to. It is exciting to know that through faith we have the power to overcome our daily problems. It is exciting to be able to know that we can take our sadness to him, and he will turn it into joy. It is exciting to be able to lay our problems at his feet and let him carry our burdens so that we don’t have to. It is exciting to know that one day we will meet Jesus’ face to face and be able to talk directly to him. We are to present to the world the excitement of Jesus Christ and not the boring acts of religion. If you have not already joined the army of the God Almighty, then it is time to enlist and get to work. It is a joyful experience and one that is to be displayed to the world and one that gives the world hope and promise. It is a way of life that is to be lived each and every day. Our churches today are, in many cases, presenting the wrong story it their members. It is time to choose a church that is alive in Jesus and not one that is hung up on religion. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
