As believers in Christ, we don’t get to choose neutral. (Revelation 3: 15-16)
The key to being a difference maker: Consistency (keep your saltiness)—Matthew 5:
13
How to maintain saltiness:
·
Don’t make it more complicated than it should.
·
Guide by the way we live.

When people encounter us, we want them to
worship Jesus.
How to lose saltiness:
·
Do nothing
·
Prioritize being liked by the world rather than
being more like Jesus
