Are you BEING the salt of the Earth? Do you even know HOW? The salt of the Earth is not a title, it is a JOB. A job that requires WORK, requires EFFORT to perform it - and to do that, you have to know what that job entails - you can’t very well do something if you don’t even know what it is!

Salt is composed of one atom of Sodium and one of Chlorine, hence it’s chemical formula is NaCl, or Sodium Chloride. And we have heard a lot from traditional medicine in the last few years about how bad salt is for our bodies. Salt is bad, salt is evil, etc. But God disagrees!

Luke 14:34 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?

God says Salt is good. Now who will we believe? A science who continually has some fad, some current evil that must be avoided at all costs - in my short lifetime I can recall a time when Cholesterol was the cause of all man’s ills. Then there was the time when Fat was to blame for every malady. Salt of course had it’s day as the harbinger of death, and these days we are on a witchhunt to eliminate Carbs.

Surely it is logical to assume that in a few years Carbs will be forgotten and we will be on a low-vegetable diet, or a diet poor in red colored foods, or some other fad. So will we believe this science, or God - the guy who made salt in the first place, and must have some vague idea of how salt and the human body interact! Read the rest of this entry »

Of all questions in modern Christendom, none is more agonizing than this one. “Have I committed the unpardonable sin”, many ask; uncertain whether or not God has accepted their repentance, their faith is crippled and their spiritual progress stalled.

Many others fear for good friends and loved ones who have been in the church, been converted, and then for one reason or another drifted back into the world, perhaps in complete rebellion to die in their sins; are these people lost forever? Will their next moments of consciousness involve an angelic boot to the seat of the pants into a lake of fire?

Of all the wonderful pieces of understanding, perhaps none offers such comfort as the one you are about to read; none allows you to watch WITH UNDERSTANDING as a loved one makes a choice they will one day regret and walks away from God and the truth. None offers you hope for this persons future as this one does. So JUST WHAT IS THE UNPARDONABLE SIN? AND HAVE YOU COMMITTED IT? Read the rest of this entry »
