Summary
Drawing from Matthew 5:13-16, Jesus calls disciples to be "salt" and "light" in the world—functioning as distinct, public witnesses through healing, help, and preservation in society. By staying spiritually grounded and living courageously in community, believers reflect Christ's light and draw others toward the gospel.
Highlights
Becoming a disciple of Jesus doesn't just add something to the old you. It creates a new you.
The glory of the gospel is that when the church is absolutely different from the world, she invariably attracts it.
If your stage ministry ever gets in the way of your home ministry, you need to quit your stage ministry because your viability on the stage has everything to do with your integrity in the home.
