Salt and Light

Articles

Walk Your Faith

The Christian faith is anything but sleepy; it is to be active, passionate and fruitful. Jesus told His followers that it was characteristic of His people to be “the salt of the earth.” He said, “…if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lamp stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” In the public forum the Christian presence is all but extinct. Anti-faith and anti-religious laws have been passed right under our noses without as much as a whimper coming from Christians. We’re to stand for righteousness even if it looks impossible.

Should You Get Involved In Politics?

Many Christians avoid public service because it seems corrupt and dirty. Yet, is it possible that political life has degenerated because people with strong moral standards have shunned it? The Bible has some surprising messages for us about duty to our government.

As a church, we want to honor Jesus Christ in every area of life (Colossians 3:23). We want to encourage one another to love and good works (Hebrews10:24). All things should be done through prayer, supplication and faith in action according to God’s Word (Ephesians 6:18, James 4:17).

As the nature of citizenship involves varying viewpoints, it is important to please be sensitive to the differences of the opinions of others (Romans 12:18). We are not here to argue politics or to side with political parties, we are here to offer tools for the purpose of furthering the Gospel and the well being of others through Christ honoring, Biblical and family friendly laws and influences in our society.
