SALT

tonight at church we talked about us being the salt of the earth. you know...
matthew 5:13-16.
we talked about how literally and figuratively 'salt' is and how Jesus was using it and us for the example.

also on how our weapons are:
1. prayer
2. evangelism
3. example
4. argument
5. action
6. suffering

we are to BE in the world, but not OF it,



and during all this we also talked about to not just be holed in our little church friends group and not talk to anyone outside of it, etc etc,
and i realized two blogs ago, i talked about wanting to hole up back into my "castle", my fortress or safeguard, and how Jesus is telling us no..... we need to step out and wander far to make ourself fishers of men! and to use all our 'weapons' to people. we were not put on this earth, and Jesus did NOT die for us just so we can sit around being average and just living..
we are a separate group of people who need to change the world. that is why we are the salt.

it was just cool to realize that no, no i cannot just hole up and hide, i am "doomed" to wander.. doomed to proclaim GOD! and i am proud and excited of it :D
