14,000 Uses for Salt
I'm preping for a conference I'm speaking at tomorrow. My topic is how we as Christians engage culture so I was thinking about Matthew 5:13: You are the salt of the earth.
Only seven words. But it's one of those kaleidscopic sayings of Jesus. According to the modern salt industry, there are over 14,000 uses for salt. Who knew? The uses include melting of ice; removing rust; fertilizing agricultural fields; keeping cut flowers fresh; making soap; softening water; sealing cracks; putting out grease fires; killing poison ivy; and seasoning food.
I had no idea :)
That totally reframes that verse for me. Wow. 14,000 uses for salt.
Pass the salt.

Was at men's meeting today you really inspired me and challenged my way of thinking. I only wish you had more time at the meeting. Will be getting your book and looking forward to reading it. You really touched home when you talked about being on offense instead of hiding in the church. My pastor also thinks along the same line as you. May God bless all that you do.
