A BIGGER REALITY -

Have you every had a bigger reality moment?

OPERATION OF SALT AND LIGHT -

Matthew 5:13–16 NASB95

13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men. 14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; 15 nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 “Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

“So when Jesus tells us we are “the salt of the earth,” He’s saying we have been placed here to preserve it until He returns - to fight against the decay of sin, to combat sickness and suffering, and to oppose corruption and injustice.”

Francis Shaeffer - “Christianity is not a series of truths in the plural, but rather truth spelled with a capital “T.” Truth about total reality, not just about religious things. Biblical Christianity is Truth concerning total reality - and the intellectual holding of that total truth and then living in the light of that Truth.”

OH, THE THINGS WE WILL DO -

THE THREE PILLARS -

Character

Competence

Collaboration

“Being salt and light is the goal of rebulutionaries, but the three pillars are how we get there. Taken separately, each one certainly has merit, but only when all three work together can we build and effective and sustainable counterculture.“

YEAR OF THE WORLD - CHANGER -

DO YOU HAVE A HOLY AMBITION -

“John Piper, pastor and author, defines a holy ambition as something that you really, really, really want to do - and that God wants you to do also. Some people would call this passion, but it’s under the lordship of Jesus Christ.”

So What??

In what ways are you being the salt and light of the earth?

What is your holy ambition? Why or why not?
