At a time when the use of icons takes on more meaning for me, spiritually, I feel protective of its root! That said, your connection of the role of salt in daily life in the times of Jesus brings us back to its function, and the layers of meaning can be stripped out. Getting back to basics is sometimes so necessary for people of faith. Being salt is part of our identity, and we tend to forget that too easily.<br /><br />well done.altar egohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11564052536173244610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678482213828648107.post-1122254115602713932011-02-05T10:11:00.268-05:002011-02-05T10:11:00.268-05:00"Go be salt"
Because I live in a small ..."Go be salt"<br /><br />Because I live in a small isolated country under an oppressive regime, where my skin colour is a reason to hate and hurt me (& mine) and where fear and distrust of each other is a way of life I forget sometimes that we all live in a globalised world. And that where ever we are we are called to be salt and light. Even in the midst of great darkness. <br /><br />I will remember your words, and through them, remember Jesus's words. And in remembering I will know that we both are part of the living tradition, the Communion of Saints called to serve and reveal the Living God.Gayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05382575146394739428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678482213828648107.post-79516550776182418052011-02-05T09:29:24.158-05:002011-02-05T09:29:24.158-05:00I like the "we ARE" -- whether we wanna ...I like the "we ARE" -- whether we wanna be or not.<br /><br />Prayers for this sermon to help others get to know you as a preacher, a pastor, and a person, and to inspire them to more saltiness themselves.<br /><br />It's already helped me -- I've been filling out an application for a board I'm being considered for, and sighing to myself and thinking, But I have nothing to offer them . . .
