Saints are light and salt
There are many people who say that the country is difficult and difficult. But few are sacrificing. Let's become people who pray for our country! now
1> The president must also meet the Lord.
2> The president also needs to know God's will, "Why did God appoint me as President?"
Example> July 1, 1979 - When Jimmy Carter asked President Park Chung-hee about his faith
"I don't believe in any religion," he said.
So, he explained the basic principles of the Christian faith and said that he wanted to know more about Christ.
Nevertheless, it is said that Park Chung-hee lost the opportunity to meet God and became a person who could not meet again four months after that.
- World Peace - Volunteer to build houses for the homeless.
“It seems that God chose me to be president of the United States because there was something he wanted to do after I finished my presidency.
-I would like to say that I am a "Christian who has not lost the taste of salt."
Psalm 92:7 Those who practice iniquity may prosper, but they will perish forever.
Psalm 92:12
Are only these wonderful people evangelizing? no
Evangelism> As Billy Graham evangelized to Eisenhower
You may think that evangelism will go well if Queen Elizabeth of England evangelizes to the Japanese emperor.
But
Example>Sanhedrin Council - the highest governing body in Judea
1. Jesus also stood here and was judged
2. The island of Stephen where Jesus stood
3. Peter and John the Island
4. Paul also stood here and testified Jesus’ Cross and Resurrection
Why did you do this?
What the nobles and emperors did not have, those people have. Gratitude Peace Joy Satisfaction There is truth.
So, the lower you are, the more you can capture the hearts of those of high rank.
- The poor are common but indispensable.
Jesus said, “Ye are the salt of the world” (verse 13), “you are the light of the world” (verse 14).
1> Salt and light
The Lord did not say, "You are the diamonds of the world", "You are the gold of the world", He said salt.
Application> Christians are like salt, common but indispensable in a world with precious value.
2> "Salt of the World" Light of the World
Christians are inseparable from the world. But in the world, they are people who live a life separated by 'light' and 'salt'.
I must be healthy first.
1. Build me up as a healthy Christian.
In order for me to be the light and salt in the world, I must first be healthy.
First, you must take good care of your body.
Example> I remember a scene from a popular drama that was a big hit. It was a touching scene where Heo Jun stayed up all night and day, taking care of patients. The image of Heo Jun inserting acupuncture needles for the patients who were drowsy and groaning from exhaustion, along with the beautiful background music, touched the hearts of the viewers.
However, from the patient's point of view, I don't want to put needles in my body while shaking my hands with a hazy mind from exhaustion. They would say, "Go and get some sleep." To become light and salt, I must first be healthy. Then you can live a life where you can look back on other people.
Second, you must manage your emotions in a healthy way. A healthy person is a person who can see properly, speak correctly, and listen correctly. A person who sees joy but does not burst into laughter, who sees sorrow but does not truly cry, plays the flute but does not have the energy to dance cannot be light and salt
Go to a nice lakeside, take a walk with your wife, exercise with your children, watch a good movie as a family, listen to beautiful music, and read a good book!
Third, you must manage your own spirituality in a healthy way. A sincere prayer life and sincere meditation on the Word are the channels through which the anointing of the Holy Spirit comes. If it gets rusty here and the barrier is clogged, it will definitely start to creak slowly from somewhere.
