Now we’re considering today, from the Sermon on the Mount, the fifth chapter of Matthew 13th through 28th verses. And it begins, “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt has lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and to be trodden under the foot of man.”

Salt of itself, is a useless food. It’s value is in seasoning food. Truth, in the same way, is nothing of itself. This is a hard lesson for some because quite often in our study we make truth everything. Truth is nothing of itself. It is only vital when it becomes an influence. It is only vital when it helps you to alter your thoughts, to change your consciousness, to redirect your life. It is only good when it is used.
