I wished to say that its wonderful to find out that a person else also mentioned this as I had trouble choosing the same information elsewhere. This became the initial place that told me the result. With thanks. Good luck, Piper.

Faithful Servent:

I’m not trying to cause strife, but I would like to gently point out that Christian can be defined several ways. Sadly within Christianity itself, the label “Christian” is all too often applied to people who have never experienced the regenerative work of the blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ. They are the namby-pamby Christians, to put it bluntly. They assume the title because everyone else does, or because they believe that baptism or accepting a creed will gain them entrance into heaven. Sadly they miss the entire point of the true Christian faith.

Although Schultz claimed to be a Christian, he also described himself as a “secular humanist”. Although I truly hope he is with the Lord, we must realize that many are stepping into eternity with a false hope in works and religion, as opposed to the redemptive work of Christ alone.

First, in response to will fox: It is true we may not like being salt on a piece of rotting meat, but that is exactly what we are! We Christians are the ones who, through God, are preserving this rotting world. We are not covering up the sins of this culture, for every man and woman is judged alone. We are called to save and that is one way we can preserve this world.
Second, in response to juliethetwin: I do not believe we should conform to this world simply so we will fit in. God made us the way we are and as Christians we are to stand out in this world. I am not saying it is bad to listen to rap, dress in the latest style, and act “cool”, but we should not be doing these things to please others. We should reach out to others, but not through trying to be cool. If you like rap, fine. I like Christian rap and hip hop, but I don’t do it to fit in.

As an aside, I would hasten to harken that it is not recommended that one should try to say the title of this post out loud too fast if one is interested in attaining a measure of purity in one’s speech.

thanks for this topic becuase it is one i have been thinking about alot lately.
trying to shine my light is hard becuase i am shy of strangers. thanks for explaining the city on a hill and the salt thing. i really like what Laura said about salt making people thristy. if we shine our light and be different people will see the difference and want it. recently, i thought you shoud be like the world (dress) to reach the world. but then my mom pointed out that Jesus wasnt like the world. people liked him becuase he was different (and he was the Son of God). what do you think? should people be like the world (dress, listen to christian rap music that you cant understand the words, and act) just to reach them? or do you think they want something different?

thanks again! 1timothy 4:12

true , who would want to be salt on a piece of rotting meat?
god doesnt just want us to hide thee faults of earth, but to save it with our example and ministry.

I think that the command is to not compromise but act with humility and avoid acting with out proper thought and consultation. Also, ‘the farmer who watches every cloud never harvests’.

Salt makes people thirsty, too
