Salt and Light

We are the Salt and the Light of this earth. There are so many people out in society today that have become apart of this repeated mundane sexual culture that has no purpose or meaning. People are looking for a quick fix, the next paycheck to "get through." Excuse me, but aren't we Christians? Aren't we the ones that are supposed to be an example to these lost people? But are we ourselves getting lost in there with them?

How will they ever know the love of Jesus unless we show it?

How will they ever know we care unless we take time to listen?

How can God use us as his hands and feet if we won't get up?

This post is not to bring anyone down, yet instead meant to challenge us as believers to be more, to win the lost and to see the love of God reign down.

I heard a very simple yet amazing testimony recently from a listener on KLOVE. A woman had been working in an office listening to the KLOVE christian radio station when 2 IT guys came in to help fix some sort of issue. One of the IT guys asked what she was listening to and as she began to tell him it turned into a witnessing time; as a result both IT guys surrendered their lives to the Lord and completely changed.

Now what if that woman had been having a bad day, decided she didn't really care to talk about what she was listening to, well we wouldn't have two more brothers in the kingdom serving the Lord instead they would still be heading for hell. That would be sad, yet opportunities just like this are missed so frequently.

God gives us opportunities everyday to be able to be his hands and feet, to be the salt and light. We have the responsibility to be on the look out for when those fine moments are, because man oh man, when they do, the glory of the Lord shines!

Be encouraged!!
