Salt

I have been looking for the ‘best before’ date on the box of table salt in our cupboard.

Does salt really lose its saltiness and if so how?

I know a lot of wonderful ‘salty’ people. Degrees of saltiness might be a concern for the individual, but I see a much greater danger afoot. The salt mine.

“It is always clean and comfortable down here.”

There is a magnetic appeal of church meetings and programs for the like-minded. Where the taste in music and sense of humour are common, where the people will make me feel good and my prejudices will largely go unchallenged. Where my time, energy and resources can be expended outside of the secular reality and all of this attractively marketed in ‘cool’ packaging or religious sensation.

Church group leaders who seek to be responsible hired hands must tread carefully.

Rest Or Strength ?

“… those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary [OJB|NIV]

“… He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. [OJB|NIV]

“… Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest [OJB|NIV]

I am weary.

Do I ask for rest or strength ?
