Vessels…Useful for the Master
“Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15)
Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal:

Jesus’ Disciples Are Salt and Light
“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.”Matthew 5:13-16
In the course of His public ministry Jesus often used word pictures to present the teachings of God’s Word.Read More »Jesus’ Disciples Are Salt and Light
