Here's good news this Sunday ...

You are the salt of the earth and light of the world ...

(Matthew 5.13-16) - As the disciples were gathered around Jesus on the mountain, he told them: "You are the salt of the earth. If the salt denatures, wherewith he salt? It is thenceforth good for nothing: it is thrown out and people trample. You are the light of the world. A city on a hill can not be hidden. And it does not light a lamp and put it under a bushel, they put it on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Also, let your light shine before men, then seeing what you doing good, they give glory to your Father in heaven. "
