The flavoring of God's Grace in our life, the preservation of life through Faith in Jesus, and the purification from our sin through His death burial and resurrection are all rewards we receive through a relationship with God and are all attributes of salt. As we grow closer to God, we become more salty and, just like real salt moves to areas of lesser concentration, his spirit will lead us to people who need Him. If we are not striving to know God more, and striving to do as Jesus did and make disciples and following His command to be salt and light, we are "not good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot". Apart from Jesus, we will be trampled on and ground up into dirt. Today, make the decision not to be thrown out and trampled underfoot and Live the Salt Life. Strive to know Christ more each day.

[QUOTE="money_pit_yj, post: 592648, member: 7710"] I try and send out a devotional a week on the facebook and email list. I'm going to include it here as well. If you wanna read it and share awesome! If it sucks and you hate it PM me and let me know!!! Also if you want to be added to our email list and keep up with everything we are trying to do, please email me at cotr4x4@gmail.com and I will add you to it. Stay tuned, we are working on some things later in the year! Here is todays devotional (or incoherent rambling :dunno:) Salt Life We have all seen them, “Salt Life” stickers on the back glass of cars from Pensacola all the way to Nebraska. What does it mean? Salt life is an online store specializing in beach stuff. They have everything from flip flops to UV fishing shirts to swim suits.
