As we look around in our world we see corruption. We see terrorism. We see war. We see evil. And we see it getting worse. What stabilizes us in these times? I think Matthew 10:24-42 serves as a good balm. In such times let us remember:· Jesus our Master was hated before us (24-25)· In the end justice will be done and be seen to be done (26-27)· Proper fear of God will reduce our fear of man (28)· God is sovereign over every detail of life (29-31)· Following Christ is really finding life (39)· SOME will receive us (40)· The promises of eternal reward will not fail (41-42)! Rejoice and meditate on these good truths ( see: Philippians 4:8)

Some of this comment is taken from what I heard on David Jerimiah on my ride to work. What we should be asking is where is the salt? I gave a lesson on this one time and after hearing other preachers,prayer and meditation I fell short the mark. But salt being a preservative is what is holding off the evil of the day. We are commanded to be the salt and the light. I can only remember the feelings I had in the sixtys and heard the stories of older days but church and morals were as common place as McDonalds is today. Whether there was more salt around then I can only spectulate but I believe there was less evil. Once more when the Lord comes back to take his bride away and the salt has been removed, well I hope anyone reading this will not see it, but evil will hit the fan. No more preservative, no more salt, just a bunch of spoilage. Bro Doug
