I got a message from someone from edge this week that got me thinking…
They shared about a decision that they made based on they beliefs of what is right and wrong.
And it reminded me of a very similar decision I faced a few years ago.
Their stand while looking maybe small to others, I think is part of a greater, more powerful truth.

We don’t do it that much now, but we used to rent a lot of dvds to entertain ourselves.
Over the years I have belonged to quite a few video shops and have lots of stories to tell about crazy things that happened with them.
But one day we found a new chain that started that was a little different to all the others we had been part of.
They hired the same movies as everyone else with one subtle difference.
They had a policy of not hiring out porn.
Without trying to sound too ‘holy’, we decided to support them over any other store.
Because of their stand. We made our little stand.
We gave them our business completely.
To some little degree we felt like we were part of something good.

Jesus seemed to have the ability to influence everywhere he went.
You don’t seem to read anywhere that a visit from Jesus meant nothing changed.
Peoples lives, circumstance, dreams...all seemed to change in the light of his presence.

It is like he was a spiritual seasoning to the world around him.

If you have decided to live your life for Christ?
If you have decided to orientate your whole world around who he is?
The Bible calls that being a disciple.
And being a disciple means you can be just like him.

Matthew 5:13 says
You are the salt of the earth

&
Mark 9:50 says
Salt is good

It is the little we do that changes the flavor of the world around us.
Your life is the seasoning God would like to use.
Just like real salt, a little of it changes the whole taste of something.
You don’t need heaps, you just need some.

You can season the world around you, just by the little things you do.
The stands you take for righteousness.
The doing the ‘right thing’ instead of the ‘wrong thing’.

You don’t to do heaps...you just have to do something.
That kind of takes the pressure off us.

Your life can change your world. That is guaranteed!

Something to think about...
