To be or not to be - salt.

I've always pictured myself as a salt kind of person. Last Sunday Pastor Dan referred to the church needing to be as salt, even though it cannot be seen it adds flavor and would be noticed if it were missing.

I think that much of my Christian walk has been like "salt". I have always preferred to be behind the scenes and remain cloaked. It's something I feel I need to work on. If we were to make a difference in our society maybe we need to more like pepper. When you see pepper you definitely know it's there and have a pretty good idea what it is going to add in the way of flavor. Maybe it is better for us to be more like "pepper" in our Christian walk, that way we are more visible, accessible to our brothers and sisters when they need us. I know I have a problem approaching people, but I would most certainly want anyone to come to me for spiritual advice.

Either way, salt or pepper if we do not add any flavor then what good are we and how can we serve God.

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.
