"Difference Makers"

There are many times in the Bible where God refers to His church as salt, light, and yeast. The one common thing of the three is that they ALL have significant value. Salt once upon a time use to be of same if not more value than gold! Light of course makes darkness flee! Without it you WILL stumble in darkness. Now yeast, yeast is most effective when its been put in to something. Take dough for example. Without the yeast the dough wouldn't rise and make bread. However, you can't take the yeast out of the dough once its been mixed in! The yeast blends in but takes over the whole dough! YEAST IS THE ACTIVE AGENT IN THE DOUGH. Same as us Kingdom Citizens. We don't have to have I'm a Christian tattoed on our foreheads for people to know. They should know by our every actions and reactions on how we respond to life and its situations. The world shouldn't influence us, we should influence it! We need to take back every system and use to glorify our King! Wether its the music industry, the acting industry, politics, etc.... Shalom and be blessed!~Levite~(King & Priest)

for who, for what????

Isaiah 43:1,7,15,21
1 But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob,
And He who formed you, O Israel:

“ Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by your name;
You are Mine.
7 Everyone who is called by My name,
Whom I have created for My glory;
I have formed him, yes, I have made him.”
15 I am the LORD, your Holy One,
The Creator of Israel, your King.”
21 This people I have formed for Myself;
They shall declare My praise.

We were made for the glory of God; HIS glory, not our own. Most of the time, if someone lends us their car, we do our best not to get a ticket or wreck it even moreso than if we're driving our own car. Then we try to return their car in the same or better shape than when they gave it to us. God has given us our bodies, our gifts and talents, our relationships, and our responsibilities to all of these. And He did not give us more responsibility than we can bear, so we gotta be responsible in what He has given so that we can return it back to Him for His glory in better shape than when He gave it according to the parable of the servants and the talents the Master gave them.
