"You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet. You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house,  In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."     (Matthew 5:13-16  ESV)

Please pray that the Church (the people of God) would be salt and light in the world around us, that we would reflect God's truth and grace in our everyday circumstances of life.
