Are You Salty?

by Adam Lustig

You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost it's
flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good For
nothing, but to be cast out and trampled under people's feet.
Matthew 5:13 NHEB

Back in the day when I was on staff for two summers at Philmont National Boy Scout Ranch in New Mexico, I noticed one of the local dairy farmers in the town of Cimmaron where Philmont was located had salt blocks in his pasture for his cows. Being a curious lad, I asked him why he has these huge blocks of salt in his pasture.

He told me the salt helps his cows replenish minerals they need for proper digestion that they don't get from grazing in his pasture. The more I study the life of Jesus Christ the more I appreciate his parables and analogies and man the analogy at the top of this posting from Matthew 5 is a great one.

If You Go To Hell

by Chima Anaele Sylvanus

"And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments"... Luke 16:23

There are many people today who do not believe in what I am about to share or even if they believe they have a watered down understanding..

So let me say this real quick, the doctrine of Hell remain the same just as Jesus preached it. See.

"And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out,
and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for
thee that one of thy members should perish, and
not that thy whole body should be cast into hell". Matthew 5:29
