We are the Salt and Light


We are those born of a greater purpose, of a higher calling. Not a simply evolved being or, a being able to find inner godhood. We are chosen for the task of bringing the glory of god to this place in all that we do. “Whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”(1 Corinthians 10:31 NIV). So understanding our purpose, we must also know that there are others who do not understand, who have complex philosophical quandries, and should be able to defend our faith soundly. To not be swayed like chaff in the wind.  " See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ." (Col 2:8). This is why it is so important to understand the fundamentals of what we believe, also that when we teach or speak, that it may be in truth, for those who teach are held to a higher standard. "Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly." (James 3:1). I want to help bring up a group who can go out and spread truth, for truth we try to find in the world will be in vain. Come and be a part, for we are Salt and Light.
“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
   14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." ( Matthew 5:13-16).
