Day 12-Being Salty and Bright

Hello all!

I'll hopefully be seeing all of you in 9 hours! Woohoo!


Anyway, toda'ys devotion is what it means to be the salt and light of the world.
It's a verse we often read of, and a phrase that we often hear. For us to go out and become the salt of the earth and light of the world.

I remember I heard this sermon from Rick Warren who preached about being salty and bright. In a world that seems to be so clouded and so bent out of shape, with people striving for success rather than a Godly life, we need to remember why we are placed on earth for. We need to remember the 2 greatest commandments in the bible to Love God, and Love others. By being salty and bright, we obey these commandments, because we choose to love others. We choose to spice up the world we live in with God's word, we choose to stop the moral decay of society. And we choose to SHINE for God where ever we are and in whatever we do.

There are many ways for us to be salty and bright. As a start, for those of us who own blogs or who uses msn, we need to reflect on what we write on our blogs or on our PMs. Because people know that you are a christian, and if you swear or curse or write bad stuff on the blogs or PM, others around you will be thinking "How can a christian do that?". As a start, the next time you post an angry blogpost about something or someone, think again, if Jesus reads this, what would He think?

Another way to be salty and bright is to just be nice to everyone around you. Live a Godly live and be Christ like. And you will shine. Share your love and God's love with the people around you, so that they may see your good deeds and praise God in heaven.

More ways include being involved in ministry in church, sharing Christ with your friends, or just volunteering to help serve in whatever way you can.

So remember to be salty and bright whereever you go!!
