Matthew 5:13-16 (KJV)
Ye are the salt of
the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to
be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. [14] Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot
be hid. [15] Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all
that are in the house. [16] Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father
which is in heaven.
Quips & Quotes
from the Pastor's Notes...
I do not work my soul to save-
That work my Lord has done
But I will work like any slave
For love of God's dear Son.
We cannot be filled so completely by God as when we ourselves are broken and emptied of our selves.
We must be ground between the millstones of suffering before we can be bread for the multitude
The presence of anxiety is directly related to the absence of humility.
We are never so able to see the Glory of God as when we are so far down, that we can only look up.
How thou canst think so well of us,
And be the God Thou art,
Is darkness to my intellect,
But sunshine to my heart.
In suffering we weave together the promises of God, and the dark threads are as needful as the gold and silver in the
weavers design.
