"Salt is good..."

Causing to Stumble
(Excerpt) "Be salty. 'Salt is good...' I think salt is one of those biblical images that has so many meanings. Salt is a preservative; it maintains life. Salt is the way in which we live our lives with favor and zest. 'Salt is good... .'

So, Jesus... [might say,] be salty... be filled with life, with zest -- preserving life."
Complete audio of this sermon: "Whose Responsibility?" Rev. Rolfe Granath, 9.27.15

Scriptural basis - Mark 9: 38-50
(Excerpt) 50 “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with each other.”
Complete text that contains this passage: Mark 9: 38-50 

A Humble Spirit
(Excerpt) "Create a pure heart in us, O God, and put a new and loyal spirit in us. Our sacrifice is a humble spirit; you will not reject a humble and repentant heart."
A church publication, CPCC, 10.4.15
