SALT

Let me give you some questions that S. McDowell points out.

I'll preface them with the thought that the longer we are believers in Christ the fewer non-Christian friends we have.  Not that this happens directly on purpose.  I don't believe it does.  But it happens nonetheless.  Our leisure time is limited and we can only do so much.  We like hanging out with people who inspire us and lift us up and we begin neglecting the very folks we're supposed to be salt and light to.  We begin sprinkling each other, not those far from God.  The more we start learning about God and Scripture, the less people around us we find who actually need it.

I hope I'm not talking about you.

Here are McDowell's questions:

1 - In the past six months, how many of the people you've talked to about things of God were unbelievers?

2 - Who are your non-Christian friends?  What are their names?  When was the last time you did a dinner with them?  

3 - Who are you praying for regularly that is far away from God?

Our prayers tell us what is on our hearts.

And be blessed.
