Phoenix First Church of the Nazarene

You see, I read this week that salt was used in those days not just to flavor food and not just to preserve food. It was also used to preserve the embers of the fire that were used to cook the food. You see, in the cooking process, pouring salt over the ember the dying embers or using it on the fire itself could help manage the flame, making it burn steadier and hotter without flaring up. See, in this way, the saltiness of our life has a way of keeping the fire of our faith burning brightly.
