Salt and Light

"Our culture, society, government, and law are in the condition they are in, not because of a conspiracy, but because the church has forsaken its duty to be the salt of the culture." (Francis Schaeffer)

It is easy to blame politicians and left-wing radicals for the down fall of the USA. It is not so easy to admit that you have not been the preserving salt that you were supposed to be. I know that I haven't done everything I could have to be salt to my culture.

To be that preserving salt, doesn't mean we conform to the standards (or lack thereof) in our culture. We are to be a stand-out, counter-culture like Jesus and the disciples.

What are some of the ways you can start being salt in the place that you are at?
