Preserving and Illuminating a Masterpiece :: a meditation on being salt & light.

This was our topic for Monday night and our text was The Sermon on theMount; Matthew 5:13-16 -- Being Salt & Light.The idea is that creation, especially humanity is the masterpiece God created in Genesis 1 and 2. And when Jesus tells us to be salt andlight what he is really challenging us to do is to preserve hiscreation and shine a light on how humanity was created to live.If we can show the world, even a little bit, how God intended forcreation to be cared for and interacted with… if we can show people,even a little bit, how God intended for humanity to live and love…THEN, maybe people will want to know the God that created this masterpiece and enables people live fully and beautifully as humanbeings.Scriptures to check outMatthew 5:13:16Genesis 1 & 2Acts 2:40-41John 10:10James 1:19-27 If you would like to hear a 60 second devotional thought on the ideaof being the light of the world check it out here.http://erikwillits.com/wordpress/?page_id=899
