“The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that does good.” Psalm 14:1.

Most of us would never dream this verse could apply to us.

After all, we’re believers!

We’d never say that there is no God.
But-
Maybe we should think again.

It’s true that with our mouths we would never say something like that…
-but what about with our actions?

Do we say it by sinning just a little here and there and thinking it won’t matter?

Do we go to an immoral movie or have a gossip session about a servant of God?
– ignoring God’s command to the contrary?

With our actions are we saying:
“There is no God!”

Psalm 14:1 connects that kind of thing to corruption.

Whether he realizes it or not…
– the more a person acts that way,
– the more corrupt he’s going to become.

Don’t make the foolish mistake of publicly proclaiming Jesus as your Lord,
-and then privately denying Him with one little action at a time.

Use wisdom in everything you do so that both your heart and your life shout loudly:
“My God reigns!”

Expiration dates are printed on just about everything nowadays,
– even on soda pop cans.
One place you will not find an expiration date, however, is on-
Salt.
Ever hear anyone say:
“This salt tastes old. It must not be very fresh”?
Probably not.
Salt never goes stale.
Jesus said:
“Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?
It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown out” (Luke 14:34-35).
If there is no such thing as fresh or stale salt-
– how could Jesus say this?
There are two ways-
– salt can lose its saltiness.
One is-
– by dilution!
The other-
– by pollution!!
Put some salt in a glass and add water.
Stir, taste, and then add more water.
The more you dilute the salt, the less you will taste it.
Soon it has no value as salt.
Or, take some salt and add to it other things.
Continue to mix in things, polluting the salt, and eventually you will not notice the salt.
Its saltiness is lost to the pollution.
Followers of Jesus are to be the “salt of the earth” (Matt. 5:13).
But our saltiness can be lost the same way.
Our testimony can be so watered down that-
– by dilution it loses its saltiness,
Or so much other stuff can come into our lives
– that our testimony is lost due to pollution.
Stay salty!
That is what Jesus wants.
Do not let into your life things that will dilute or pollute.
