Matthew 5:13 NASB  “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by people."Anyone who lives in colder climates, understands the importance of salt! AS I prepare for the winter months, I make sure I get a good supply of salt! Not that my wife's cooking is bad but our winters tend to leave icy driveways and walkways where we use the salt to make safe passage amid the ice! Today's verse speaks to us about the salt of our life and how if it has become tasteless, it is no longer good for anything but to be trampled under foot! At first it may seem like a pretty harsh verse but in reality, when we find ourselves not being the men God has called us to be, it's like salt that has become tasteless! Salt can add flavor to our meal and so can the salt of the earth, (that's us!) add flavor to the life of those who are in need! Let us not become trampled on by the world but add the flavor of Jesus Christ to the world! peace, tom
