We know the importance of being salt and light. We know the dangers of losing our saltiness (influence) and hiding our light - we lose our impact for Christ on the world. How do we make an impact on our world as we are commanded to be?
1. Recognize our distinctiveness makes a difference in our world. Light is different than darkness - salt is different than pepper.
2. Stay close to Christ. Salt never loses taste, but it is easy to lose saltiness in our life. "If we are not affecting our world - the world is affecting us".
3. Make our works visible. This is not doing good works for show, but living a life of holiness and obedience to the Lord. People do observe us daily. Are you 'poking holes in the darkness" today with your light?
"The serene beauty of a holy life is the most powerful influence in the world next to the power of God". - Blaise Pascal
