Learning to be His Salt and Light

Some of you know that I was recently baptized by immersion at Hillcrest Bible Church. In my renewed devotion to the Lord and as a way to reach others, I am creating this blog. I pray that I will be able to keep up with it as I have started so many things in my life only to quit after a short time. I have been reading quite a few Christian books lately. I'm going to start with doing some book reviews and add in some little nuggets or inspirational ideas that come to me. 

For those that do not know, the title of my blog is in reference to Jesus' sermon on the mount where he talks about being like salt and a light to the world. I think that as a Christian this is very important and also very difficult. This is my journey about learning through reading the Bible, Christian books, devotions and every day life. My goal is to read one book a month and to keep up with my daily Bible reading plan. Thank you for coming along on my journey. 

      "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.             

       You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."

Matthew 5:13-16 NIV
