Preparation


Matthew 5:13

Salt and Light

13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its flavor, how can it be made salty again?

It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled on by people.

 

 Preparation

 

Who in the world thinks that he can

prepare a simple sermon?

Unless the Spirit works overtime

to fill that heart with Love.

The Spirit has to find a way

to break through the walls of blindness,

which are strengthen every day

by reasons of man’s unkindness.

 

I will preach!!!   I will serve!!!

I will do God a favor???

Lost long ago  never found  

like salt, that lost its flavor.
