OK, I'm back from camp so here's a new poem.
Salty Christians
By Larry Linville
Jesus said you are the salt of the earth
a candle shining as a leading light
something to be highly desiredl
eading struggling people through the night.
Lot’s wife didn’t fit this helpful image
she, too, was salt – so just what did she lack?
The answer is very simple I’m sure
she couldn’t be helpful because she looked back.
Those who want to follow Jesus today
need to see if they are on the right track.
He needs those who are looking forward
rather than those constantly looking back.
So don’t tell me all the things that you have done
but tell me what you’re going to do.
If you explore where Jesus is going
the right kind of salt will be part of you.
