CC 03: Salt & Light

In a book I was reading while researching this topic, an author made this statement “The world needs light. The world needs salt. It doesn’t need a bunch of Christians crawling into their Christian storm shelter and never coming out because it’s not safe out there, nor do we need a bunch of Christians who look so much like the world that they can’t see the light.” 

While I had never heard it put that way before, I found the statement to be incredibly insightful. We are called, as Christians, to not only be different from the world, but also interact with it in a meaningful way. How do we do this? What does this look like? This is the challenged posed to us in our next section of the Sermon on the Mount.
