Quote of the Week: Ferguson
Sunday, January 23, 2011 at 08:28AM Speech is like salt: too little, and we do not taste the flavor of the food; too much, and we are left with the unpleasant taste of the salt. Like salt, our lives and our speech are to bring out the 'flavor' of Jesus Christ. Too much of ourselves--too much of our talk--and will likewise leave an unpleasant taste. Be like Christ, then, lest others are not able to taste the difference between the salt and the meat, between the poverty of our witness and the goodness of the Lord Jesus they are invited to taste. (Psalm 34:8)
Sinclair B Ferguson, The Sermon on the Mount: Kingdom Life in a Fallen World
Matthew 5:13 “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.

I really like this quote. Sounds like a great book.
Me, too. I like the first bit - too little and we do not taste the flavor of the food. Thank you for sharing that, Kim!!
