Loving The God of Truth

Welcome to all those in the ODM who desire to know and to love the God of Truth through the faithful study of His Word. Please feel free to share your comments, insights, questions, concerns, words of encouragement, thanksgiving, praise, and prayer requests with all of us.

May God most richly bless the reading of His precious Word to our hearts this year.

"The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul.
The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple.
The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever.
The ordinances of the Lord are sure and altogether righteous.
They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold;
They are sweeter than honey from the comb.
By them is your servant warned;

In keeping them there is great reward."

(Psalm 19:7-11)

Teaching about Salt and Light

When I was a kid, I used to hear a lot: " You are salt and light in this world!" , and I guess that everyone who grew up in church heard of it at least one time. So we all know that, but are we living acording to our identity?
Ephesians 5 :8 says" For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light!"

thank you, fabiana, for reminding us of such an important truth--that we are to live as children of the light.

Jesus reminds us that if you are a christian, it will be apparent to everyone.

there is no such thing as a christian who does not make known their "christianity".

"a city on the hill CANNOT be hidden. neither do people light a lamp and PUT IT UNDER A BOWL. instead they PUT IT ON A STAND, and it GIVES LIGHT TO EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE" (v 14-15).

how obvious is our faith supposed to be?

as obvious as light in a completely dark room or salt in totally bland food. in other words, all the difference in the world.

what we are inside will eventually make itself known.

light or darkness.

Thank you for your posting Fabi!
Yeah, it's so easy to live my life betraying these verses. We gotta be worthy people for everyone like salt in food and light in darkness.
