In this sermon God's Recipe For The Perfect Barbecue, remember that while Jesus is the sacrifice, you are the salt. How do we keep our savor? Salt is hospitality. When you have guests over, you provide them with salt for the meal. Salt is used to seal covenants between people. It reduces conflict and turns old enemies into friends. We should likewise be the most hospitable people on earth. We should be willing to forgive and the first to ask forgiveness. Give to those in need, and willing to invite others over to our house for a cookout. Salt is pure. Likewise we should be pure. We should not allow ourselves to be corrupted by sin. We should strike to keep ourselves pure and failing that, ask God to make us clean once again. Under no circumstances should we allow ourselves to be corrupted by false doctrines. We should not allow the sins of the world to come into our churches and our lives. We should not allow after worldly ways of doing business, of seeking only to entertain, of seeking to serve our own lusts. God is pure and we should strive to be pure as well. Salt purifies. Germs cannot live in salt. That is why salt is used as a preservative. Ezekiel 16:4 says that even babies were salted when first born to kill any germs on them. Likewise we should strive to remove the sin we find in the world around us.
