Matthew 5:13 The Beatitudes
13"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 by men.
In the French fry of life, are you the potato or the salt? I'm afraid that too many of us try too hard to fit in, and therefore lose all effectiveness. God has called us to stand out from the world, and to provide flavor for it. If you've ever had a french fry without salt you know exactly what I'm talking about! But there's another thing that I hate even more than a bland french fry, and that's when you go to McDonalds and get the cold fries from the bottom of the tray, when every employee has walked by and thrown salt on it! I can feel it in the back of my throat right now! Ugh.
We need to be different enough to provide flavor for the world, but not so different that we're just obnoxious!
