if

salt loses its flavour it's not worth anything

it ends up being trampled by men. In fact, He taught

3 realms about our influence: salt, light

and leaven. Salt and light is who we are, leaven

is the Kingdom and I'd always taught

the salt was used as a preservative

in Bible days they would pack meat for example in salt and that would preserve

it long time and

and there's a wonderful lessons involved when you see that

God has called us the salt of the earth and there's a preservative

preserving affect of the Kingdom culture within us

on culture and society I do believe that but that isn't the context in which

Jesus

talked about us being the salt of the earth. If salt loses its flavour which

means what?

It means you and I are supposed to add flavour to the world

we're just simply supposed to add flavour!

God is a God who has extreme value for beauty

He celebrates beauty, He celebrates

order.

He celebrates these things that He put in place

and when the Lord says you are the salt of the earth

I believe He's really talking about

sprinkling us through culture and society to such a point that we actually

enhance bring flavour to everything around us

everything from the economic system to the educational system to the political

environment

every environment should be affected by

the creative impact of the people of God who know their God

and have been planted in that environment to bring an expression of the

Kingdom into that part of the world.
