Salt and Light

"Ye are the salt of the earth ... Ye are the light of the world."  Matthew 5:13-14

 

Many people doubt that there are any answers to life's basic questions. What is the purpose of life? What happens after I die? Is there any hope for the world today?

However, the human mind---like nature itself---abhors a vacuum. If our minds and hearts are not filled with God's truth, something else will take its place: cynicism, occultism, false religions and philosophies, drugs---the list is endless.

Already a terrifying spiritual and moral tide of evil has loosed our society from its spiritual moorings. Ideas that could easily destroy our freedoms are rushing into the vacuum that results when societies turn from the moral truths found in Scripture. Moral and spiritual chaos is the inevitable result. 

May we who know God's truth stay committed to the principles outlined in His Word. Above all, may we be salt and light in this world, proclaiming God's righteousness and love to a confused and dying world.
