“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
"Information translates to obligation."
This is actually why I was "burdened" to write Sunday Lessons. It doesn't matter if each post gets only 10 or 20 views. I feel like I'd be depriving the world so much knowledge if I don't write down what I learn.
"We know we are Christians when the lives of the people around us become better simply because they know us."
I do not know for sure. I can only hope. I can only hope that somehow, in some ways, I am a light in other people's darkness. I don't have to be a lighthouse; being a firefly is enough for me. And if people are hesitant to curse in my presence, or if they get to know God's Word through me, or if they get to see God's greatness through me, then maybe, just maybe, I already am a firefly.
