It's us living out Jesus' way: humility over arrogance, other-centeredness over self-centeredness, forgiving over holding a grudge. Those kinds of people change an office. They change a family. They change a school. They lift a city!Be salty this week! Shine your light!

Tuesday of the Tenth Week in Ordinary Time

Read OnlineJesus said to his disciples: “You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world…” Matthew 5:13–14Every Christian has two primary duties in life. First, we must strive for personal holiness. And second, we must work to help others achieve this same degree of holiness. This is what it means to be the “salt of the earth” and the “light of the world.”Consider salt. Salt is a preservative, and it also adds flavor to food. It does so by entering the food and, in a sense, disappearing. So it must be with us. First, our Lord must enter our lives and preserve us from the corruption of sin. But as He does so, He will also bring out our goodness in a way that the “flavor” of holiness is evident to others. In this way, we will be used as salt for others. This is especially done by our works of charity.Saint Thérèse of Lisieux said in her autobiography, “I see now that true charity consists in bearing with the faults of those about us, never being surprised at their weaknesses, but edified at the least sign of their virtue.” She believed that this was especially the way we act as salt and light to others. We help to preserve others from sin by being merciful to them when they are weak. We enrich their lives by seeing their goodness and rejoicing in it. And we do so in a hidden way. By our gentleness and compassion, our kindness and mercy, we preserve others and help them to grow in God's abundant grace. And we do so, many times, without them even realizing how God used us.Consider, also, light. The world in which we live is oftentimes quite dark and despairing. There is corruption all around us and temptations abound. Thus, the light of Christ must be made manifest far and wide. Those all around us need to see clearly the path to holiness and happiness. Again, this is possible if we first work to become light itself. Christ, the true Light of the World, must so permeate our lives that we find it almost automatic to shine brightly in a fallen world. When Christ is alive in us, we will radiate joy and peace, calm and conviction, moral goodness and determination. And when we live this way, we will not have to “impose” the Gospel on others; rather, God's light will simply shine and be a beacon of hope to those who come into our presence.Reflect, today, upon these two missions in life. First, ponder your call to holiness. How does God want to bring light into your own life, preserve you from all sin and add spiritual flavor for holy living? Second, who does God want you to love with His love? Who needs hope and joy, mercy and kindness, words of wisdom and encouragement? Be holy and then allow that holiness to shine forth to others and you will indeed be the salt of the earth and the light of the world.My Jesus, the true Light of the World, please shine brightly in my life so that I will see clearly and will be preserved from the darkness of sin. As You fill me with Your light, please use me as an instrument of Your love and mercy to a world filled with chaos and confusion. Dispel the darkness, dear Lord, and use me as Your instrument as You will.

Principle 55 – Being Salt and Light       Psalm 58:1-11  We are to take a proactive approach in praying for our political leaders so that we might continue to be salt and light in this world. NEW! - Let us know what you think of the program! Support the show

By calling His followers salt and light Jesus is saying that we are vital to the world as a preserving agent in society, restraining corruption and shining as a visible witness. We are challenged to consider that salt loosing its saltiness is equivalent to Christians loosing their Christlikeness.

Hope doesn't come from whoever sits in leadership. It comes from the One who sits on the throne of heaven.

Matthew 5:13–16 (CSB) “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt should lose its taste, how can it be made salty? It’s no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet. You are the light of the world. A city situated on a hill cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket, but rather on a lampstand, and it gives light for all who are in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven."

Pastor Doug continued our series about the Sermon On The Mount with Jesus' teaching about how we should be like salt and light.

Counter Formed | Week 1This is a study on the Sermon on the Mount. In this series, we are learning about the ways of Jesus. As we follow Jesus, we are being counter formed out of the ways of the world and into the ways of Jesus. 

God draws people to himself and makes them his own. The Catechism shows us what makes God's people different from everyone else, and what it is that unites them. Fr. Mike hones in on what exactly it is that the People of God do, and exhorts us to start doing that right here, today. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 781-786. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Salt And Light: Living With Purpose 4/13/25 by Jessica Seigler

Salt and Light The post Salt and Light appeared first on Christian Ministries Church.

In this episode of the National Crawford Roundtable podcast the guys talk about the decline in Biblical Worldview, even among professing Christians. Are evangelical Christians doing a good job of representing Jesus? What is the Church doing right? What is the Church doing wrong? How have sex and money scandals hurt the Church? Has the Church done a good job of being the salt and light of the Earth? Is winning the "culture war" the same as making disciples?

Elder Anthony Valentine preaches from Matthew 5:13-16

Our next Sunshine Guest, Kate Steele, has an awe-inspiring story of resilience. After surviving a catastrophic car accident, she has spent the last 14 years navigating life as a mom, quadriplegic, entrepreneur, and connector. But at her core, she is simply human—seeking, stumbling, and finding her way back to her essence.Kate's journey is a testament to the power of light, surrender, and trust. She shares how Salt has played a profound role in her healing, reminding us of Matthew 5:13-16:“You are the salt of the earth… You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.”Living with paralysis means relying on 24/7 care—a reality that has shaped Kate's deep perspective on health, well-being, and what it means to truly trust. Through survival, she has found strength. Through surrender, she has found light.“I believe in a world where you become whole within yourself, and that frequency radiates to the environment around you and all that you touch.”Kate's story invites us all to reflect: How are we shining our light? How are we seasoning the world around us?Join us for a conversation that will move your heart and uplift your spirit.
