What Did Jesus Mean, “You Are The Salt Of The Earth?”

Last updated on: January 11, 2018 at 8:46 am By Jack Wellman

Jesus said that we are to be the salt of the earth, so what did He mean by this? Worth their Salt In ancient times, salt was a valuable commodity. So much so that it became a currency of sorts. Sometimes people were paid with salt or paid for something with salt.

Last updated on: January 11, 2018 at 8:46 am By Jack Wellman

There is a war on…a way against Christians, so what can we learn from others who have battled Satan and his demons? Job and Satan In the Old Testament, “there was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job, and that man was blameless and upright, one who feared God and turned away from evil” (Job 1:1), so we know that Job was “one who feared God and turned away from evil” and was “a blameless and...

The Relationship Between The Good Shepherd And His Sheep

Last updated on: January 4, 2018 at 12:48 pm By Jack Wellman

Jesus is called the good shepherd, so why does Jesus use the analogy of His being a shepherd, and we being His sheep? The Nature of Sheep My uncle in Iowa raises sheep, and I can remember him saying a lot of things about his sheep; most of it bad. For one thing, sheep are defenseless against predators. They can’t fight back and they can’t outrun predators. They simply panic. They’re afraid of water and can only be led to... Read more

What Does It Mean To Be In Christ?

Last updated on: January 8, 2018 at 2:11 pm By Jack Wellman

The Bible mentions being “in Christ,” so what does this mean, and how can we be sure to be found in Christ? Outside of Christ It is very clear. Those outside of Christ are outside of the will of God and have the wrath of God abiding on them as it currently stands. They are in a hopeless state.

Why Its Easy To Misjudge People

Last updated on: December 28, 2017 at 9:45 pm By Jack Wellman

It’s almost impossible to know what’s inside of a person, so why are we so quick to judge? Forgiving Others John 3:16 is a beautiful verse that speaks of the immeasurable gift that the Father gave of His Son for our forgiveness of sins. Even so, John 3:17 completes this thought since it says, “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him,” so... Read more
