Credit: Desktop Publishing "Sin and the City...the Savior and the Saints" (A Sweet 'n Salty Mix!?!) Bible Gateway's Bible reading: 2 Peter 2:5-9 (NIV) . . . Matthew 24 (NIV) Genesis 18:16-23 (NIV) . . . Genesis 19:1-29 (NIV) . . . Genesis 6:1-12 (NIV) Sweet and Salty - a mix? Of course - where there's sweet, there's GOTTA be salty! But what about sin and the saints, the culture and the Christ...not a good mix - or is it?? "Sex and the City," the blockbuster movie/TV show attracting "sweet" attention these days, is a telltale sign of trouble in the land - and it's but the tip of the iceberg! Immodesty, immorality, indifference to sin - iniquity - abounds in our sour society today. The world calls it "sweet" - sounds like Sodom and Gomorrah to me.....or would you prefer the Great Flood and Noah's Day? We live not in world so sweet, but in a sewer so sour - filth, faithlessness, promiscuity, perversion and vice. And what to do? How to survive? Let's explore the options and discover real wisdom according to God's worldview! (1) Sneak a peek back and turn into a pillar!?! Not good! Surely you remember the story of Lot's wife, pining for the sins of Sodom, looking back and becoming a pillar of salt. Whining for the world's pleasures is dangerous.....it's artifical sweetener, not joy! Lord, help us to fix our eyes on You, the source of real pleasure and joy - and Your Word, sweetness to our souls. May we never look back to the pit from whence we came. We're sinners saved by grace; let's live like it!! (2) Stay in the salt shaker where it's safe?!?! No way! Surely you remember the words of our Savior, "You are the salt of the earth...." Now if we STAY in the closed environment of a Christian vacuum, safe - and STALE - we will become. Positioning ourselves IN the world, in the full armor of God, "standing tall in the face of evil," is God's way to proclaim righteousness in the city, right living in the world. Not indulgence but infiltration into the fields of evil, equipped as a believer to battle the enemy on his ground and in the might of God. Salt shakers doing war in the ungodly world - sounds like a Hollywood futuristic movie - but it's real life, living in a real world for a real God. Better than staying stale in the shaker, for sure! (3) Salt the world with His saving grace!?! Good choice! Let the Savior enhance the flavor and pour out the salt to a needy world! The essence of the Gospel - to believe, respond, receive and reach out, salting the city with the Savior's love, joy and peace wherever we go! How is salt made? I have no clue, but usually any valued product comes with a process - sometimes painful - but necessary to enhance that product into final form. May we allow Christ to make and form us into real saints and into the tasty and thirst-producing salt He desires that will touch our world with His grace. Sin and the City...Sin and the Saints...can we survive? Yes, a thousand times yes, by His grace and power. But we can MORE than survive - we can thrive! Look around you and see the sin? Sure! But look BEYOND you - and see the Christ! He entered the culture 2,000 years ago and has never left. He enters that same culture through you and me right where we live. Salt shakers, stand tall; learn of Him within the sweet confines of a Christian environment - but then.....get ready to shake - into the city streets! You're a saint with a Savior - and alot of salt AND sweetness to share with your world until He comes! Featured links - lots of them! "S.E.X.
