Yup, we are the salt of the earth. If the salt loses it's saltiness it is good for nothing except to be trampled on by the feet of men.

>> When Christians live too close to the world, they lose their power to help and to heal, to be a witness and win the lost to the Lord Jesus Christ. It is sad to say that today in most places, one cannot tell a church member from a lost person. The Scriptures warn us that loving the world makes us an enemy of God. 1John 2:16 goes on to say, "For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world." It is only when the believer surrenders their life to Jesus Christ, will they be the salt that God wants them to be. John 15:5 says"...apart from me you can do nothing."

>> This is something to pray about. Could it be that one of the sure signs we have lost our saltiness is not only that we have "made ourselves friends of the world", but that we have allowed ourselves to be pulled into "the world" enough to actually be trampled underfoot by men - which in turn has rendered us ineffective? Or consider this: Do you physically crave salty foods all the time? Perhaps your desire for all that extra salt could be directly related to your feeling "ineffective, tasteless and lacking salt".

>Good Guys,
>If we live long enough, almost everything we see, hear or do becomes a trigger for a memory of something we have seen, heard or done. It would be nice if we could do a selective match and everything we experience today would bring back only the best of yesterday, but our memories are not that easily parceled, and we're left to sort in the present the things of the past.
