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 he 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.
I love the story of the stressed-out woman who was tailgating a man as they drove on a busy boulevard. When he slowed to a stop at a yellow light, the woman hit the horn, cussing and screaming in a frustration and gesturing angrily. As she was still in midrant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a police officer station who ordered her to exit the car with her hands up. He took her to the police station and placed her in a holding cell.
An hour later, the officer returned and said, "I'm sorry, Ma'am. This has been a big mistake. When I pulled up behind you, I noticed your 'what would Jesus Do?' license plate holder and your 'Follow me to sunday school' bumper sticker. I assumed the car was stolen!"
Satan doesn't care so much if you are a christian as long as you don't act like one. If he can get you to live by his signals, he can demage and disarm you every time and dishonor the name of Christ in the process.
Instead, Jesus calls believers to be "salt" and "Let your light to shine before man, that they may see your good works and glorify your father in heaven. With jesus in the driver's seat of our lives,we can show off of love and glory of god. - Joe Stowell
Called to be salt and light in this world, called to preserve and to shine,
called to reflect the glory of God --Oh, what a calling is mine! --Fitzhugh
