those going to the slaughter

“Salt. It’s what the church is supposed to be. To preserve, to save the culture, to hold back evil. Do you feel like evil is being held back? And yet there is a church on nearly every corner, with their ridiculous “clever” sayings on their signs. It’s getting harder to stomach even driving by them. It’s not enough just to have a reputation in your community of doing good. It’s only half the job. We *must* expose evil, to hold back those going to the slaughter. “I know your works. You have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God.” (Rev 3:1,2) Salt that isn’t salty is only good for trampling underfoot. Jesus said that. Judgement never begins with the godless, judgement always begins in the house of God. You as an individual need no one’s permission to do as we have been commanded. You don’t need to wait for a group or a church program. Step out of the corpse and live.” -JS
