BALLOTS BENEATH BUSHELS

Matthew [all MKJV today] 5:3-16 [Jesus explained] … You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt loses its savor, with what shall it be salted? It is no longer good for anything, but to be thrown out and to be trodden underfoot by men. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do men light a lamp and put it under the grain-measure, but on a lampstand. And it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in Heaven.

Mark 4:21-24 And He [Jesus] said to them, Does a lamp come to be put under a grain-measure, or under a bed? and not to be set on a lampstand? For there is nothing hidden which shall not be revealed; nor became covered, but that it might come to the light. If any man has ears to hear, let him hear. And He said to them, Take heed what you hear. With that measure which you measure, it shall be measured to you. And to you who hear, more shall be given.

Luke 11:33-35  [Jesus explained] No one, when he has lighted a lamp, puts it in a secret place, or under a grain-measure, but on a lampstand, so that they who come in may see the light. The light of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is sound, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is evil, your body also is full of darkness. Therefore take heed that the light in you is not darkness.

 

  For the first time in my life I voted by absentee ballot.

  Why? Because I didn’t want to inconvenience one of my gracious chauffeurs?

  No. I did so because I am salt and light says my Lord . . . and as such I am to glorify Him in every action available to me.  (1Cor.10:31)

  Oh, and then there’s that alternative underfoot placement business.  EBB4
