Salt and Light

Matthew 5:13-16:
¹³ “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."

What does this verse mean:
     This Verse says that we should let our light shine and show people that we are christians. Not hide from people but embrass our christianity!! :)
Explain how to apply this to life:
     We need to tell people about christ and show them what God has done in your life and how we should live. We shouldnt do anything that should put a bad name on God or christianity. REPRESENT!!

Halloween

    Okay first things first, i actually have heard the Adventures of Odyssey Halloween thing. Next thing. I dont have a problem with halloween. But i do think that it can get out of hand with the whole messing with dead people and spirits. i agreed with  "we should all take seriously the world of spirits and the dangers of real witchcraft and messing with the occult." i'm not saying that you can only dress up at Bible Charaters and such and not ninja turtles thats your own business but i do think that we shouldn't be all lets mess with a a ouija board and with spirits and witchcraft. i think its kind of disrespectful.

    I also liked what it said about Halloween traditons and how most of it is innocent fun, not pagan. again i think it is all about how you celebrate halloween and what you do on halloween.
    3 John 1:11 -Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.
