Fifty years ago, a young girl was ashamed to admit that she was living with her boyfriend. Today, however, young girls are ashamed to admit that they're virgins. If you are a virgin, chaste, young person, you don't have anything to be ashamed of; you have something to be proud of. There was a time when a man would fight you if you said he was gay, but now many men are fighting to be called gay. What’s the problem? Our world is decaying, and one of the reasons is that Christians are not doing their duty to help preserve it. There was a time when homosexuals were ashamed to show their faces. Now they are bragging about it.

Many Christians are lumped together in a hardened rock form. They need to be shook loose and go out and start salting this world. It is corrupt and dying, and it is "going to hell". Adultery, drugs, drinking, pornography, abortion and teen rebellion are now generally accepted. Why? In many cases, it is because too many Christians are not doing what they ought to do.

Believers everywhere should be speaking out on their jobs and in the schools concerning how they feel about things. The world tells us how they feel about things; so we ought to tell the world how we feel. Believers should say something like this: “I'm not going to lie to Mom or Dad. I'm not going to lie to my boss. I believe that abortion is wrong.” The world talks about these things at work; they talk about it everywhere. They speak their mind about things, so we are to speak up for what is right. We should not be afraid to say, “I don't take drugs, and I thank God that I don't have to smoke. I thank God that I don't have to go to shameful places.

We need to let people know that we're going to practice godly principles. They're not afraid to let us know what they're going to do. Let's sprinkle some salt on situations. People are so bold today about ungodly things. There was a time when people who “talked that way”, were rebuked by Christians.

Men should not be afraid to say they are going to be faithful to their spouses. In raising our children, we need to keep salt sprinkled on them. The salt that you “rub into them” from childhood to adulthood will never get away from them. Let’s be careful to keep our speech seasoned with salt, even in raising our children. May God help us.
