So, by inference, it means : "you are the antiseptic of the world; you bring about healing." Salt was also used as a wage in ancient times. Thus, the old saying "a man worth his salt" You are definitely a lady worth your salt. Regards Kelvin Hi Jessica, I have learn from my senior pastor about “salt” and allow me to share with you:

I'm glad you stumbled upon my humble abode on the net! :) I visited your church's website, <a href="http://www.shelterchurch.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">The Shelter Reformed Church</a>. I thought it's wonderful that your church also sings from the Book of Psalms. Unfortunately, it seems like psalm singing is becoming less common in many churches today. I hope you find what you were looking for on the Westminster Confession lectures. Coincidentally I've been trying to finish listening to a <a href="http://www.sermonaudio.com/search.asp?sourceOnly=true&currSection=sermonssource&keyword=chalcedonpresbyterian&keyworddesc=Chalcedon+Presbyterian+Church&subsetcat=series&subsetitem=Westminster+Larger+Catechism" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">sermon series on the Westminster Larger Catechism</a> by Dr. Joe Morecraft. That reminds me that I need to get back on that again soon. :) Thank you again for taking the time to comment and for your kind words of encouragement. May God continue to bless you and all that you do for Him. Hello Pastor Hackett,

I'm glad if my essay can be edifying. I still have much to learn in my journey and learning to be the "salt of the world." Thank God for His patience and grace. Have a wonderful day of worship this Sunday! Hi Gabe,

Thanks for taking the time to write. I’m glad if my essay can be edifying. I still have much to learn in my journey and learning to be the “salt of the world.” Thank God for His patience and grace.

I not only found your "SALT", but i've noticed that I'm not the only male as well. You not only opened my eyes to the physical aspects of salt, but you have magnified the Word now that you look at what Jesus taught to those crowds and His disciples. When we look at salt today we don't think of all the attributes and benefits of it like the people of Christs' time had looked at it. Now that we compare the salt to what He wants us to be....it blows my mind. Your writing has been a blesssing. Thanks Blessica, Jamar Your website is truely amazing.

I'd love to read it. It sounds really interesting. Candle and salt make a good combination, like "salt and light". :) A candle is a good one! :) When you finish, please let me know.

My theme often about brokenness, I think candle would be more like it :) I'll make a writing on that for my reflection.
