Matthew 5:13
"Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour,
wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good
for nothing, but to be cast out, and to
be trodden under foot of men"
Christ sent forth His disciples, by their lives and doctrines to season it with knowledge and grace. If they are not such as they should be, they are as salt that has lost its savor. If a man can take up the profession of Christ, and yet remain graceless, no other doctrine, no other means, can make him profitable. Our light must shine, by doing such good works as men may see. What is between God and our souls, must be kept to ourselves; but that which is of itself open to the sight of men, we must study to make suitable to our profession, and to God.
My Friends, We all know that there are certain people in whose company it is easy to be good; and that also there are certain people in whose company it is easy to be relaxed. There are certain people in whose presence a tainted story might be readily told, and there are other people to whom no one would dream of telling such a tale. The Christian must be the cleansing antiseptic in any society in which he happens to be; he must be the person who by his presence defeats corruption and makes it easier for others to be good. "We Must Aim At The Glory Of God."
Amen!
