Quick Summary:

Salt is in our cupboards and in our text, and it's only getting more complicated both to buy salt and to be salt. Gandhi showed us how salt, when used as a symbol could mobilize a whole nation. Jesus warns that we'll all be salted by fire. In the polarized context in which we live it's important to hold onto our saltiness as Christian community. There is a cost to these divisions, which is causing little ones the world over to stumble on the whole idea of faith and trust in God. Whose God? Which God? The one you’ve made into your image, or the one I’ve made into mine? When enough of us fail to be who we were created to be, the body of Christ is in danger of becoming saltless salt. And if we lose our salt, we lose our identity, our purpose, our value.
