Salt. See?

It is always a joy to experience Fifth Sundays at Bronx Bethany! These are special Sundays when our community engages in worship with simultaneous translation between Spanish and English. Yesterday, Pastor Martha shared with us from Matthew chapter 5.

For today, let's re-read the key verses and consider a few questions:

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 by men. You are the light of the world. A city 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 men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:13-16)

• How does your life show the world that you are "the salt of the earth"?
• Why would someone "light a lamp and put it under a bowl"? 
• Is it easy to perform good deeds for others? Why or why not?
