Neither do people light a lamp
and put it under a bowl.
—Matthew 5:15
Jesus did not say become the salt of the earth; he said you are the salt of the earth. He did not say become the light of the world; he said you are the light of the world.
We are the salt of the earth. But whether we leave people with a good taste in their mouth or an unappetizing one is a choice we make.
We are the light of the world. But whether we shine the light or hide the light is a choice we make.
We are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Those are Jesus-stated facts. How we live up to the honor is the rest of the story . . . those are the chapters we’re writing.
You are changing your world
—for better or worse.
