Prayer: May you help us to the salt of the earth, dear Lord. Amen.
Reading: Matthew 5: 13-20 (Click to read text) Stop and GROW: After reading the text, discuss/ponder the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Book of Faith questions, which are part of Camp Mount Luther's GROW Time with campers. QUESTION 1: What scares, confuses, challenges, or doesn’t make sense to me in this text? QUESTION 2: What delights me in this text or is my favorite part of the story? QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: When I was a camper at Mount Luther, my counselors one day made us some French fries. We ate them as a snack. But when we put them into our mouths, they didn’t taste very good. You see, they did not add any salt to the fries. We then added the salt and tasted then again. Much better! Our counselors then read us this passage and talked about we can be the salt of the world. How are your salt to others? How do you make their life “taste” better? In our times of divisiveness, may we be salt to others to help them see a better perspective. --Chad Hershberger
