Memorial Baptist Church

Our discussion about authentic faith in a post modern context kicked off last Sunday.  This coming Sunday, I'll begin talking about how to draw the lines of authentic Christian living in this current culture. What do I mean by this? The discussion will focus on a couple of Biblical principles for living objective truth in a subjective truth world. The Salt and Light Principle is one of those we'll elaborate on this Sunday. Jesus as recorded in Matthew 5:13-16 said, "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. You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."  (NIV) You are that salt and light to make a difference someone else's life.
