Christians are the salt of the earth to the degree that we are out of step with the values of the world and in step with the values of God. Most people primarily seek what to wear and eat and drink and drive and play with. But we must be free of all that and seek the kingdom first, and then you will be salt. The world is like a blah piece of hamburger. It needs salt to preserve it and make it have the spice of eternal joy. But too often the church today is taking its cues from the world—the TV and Radio and magazines and newspapers and secular culture-shaping voices—that the church turns out to be just another piece of blah hamburger. In I Peter, the Lord is calling us to be out of step with the world, and as we will see this Sunday, out of step on the matter of marriage. To get your cues for how to think and feel about marriage not from the spirit of our age but from God, who made heaven and earth and everything in them—including marriage—for the glory of his name and the good of his people. Join us at Hope Community Church at 9:30a.m. or 11:00a.m.
