Jesus 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. 

Matthew 5:13

​

The purpose of salt is to add flavor, and it has to penetrate the meat to do that.

​

Similarly, the purpose of the church is to make a difference in the world, but we have to penetrate the world in order to accomplish that.

​

The effectiveness of the church is not measured by what goes on in worship, but by what goes on in the lives of its people throughout the week. Church folks have to get, Out of the Salt Shaker and Into the World.

 

In Titus 2:9-10, Paul discusses this basic truth. We are not slaves today, but we do have employers. We are to give an honest day's work for an honest day's wage. 

​

Paul spoke to these laborers of his day. 

​

Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them,  
Titus 2:9
