Salt-Seasoning for a Full House

(Filed under: Philosophy)

When our success at communicating is measured against the contemporary, creative, and controversial, we're missing it. Like a dieter eating Milk Duds on a treadmill, we must not forget why we're communicating this greatest story ever told in the first place.

Not to be contemporary for the sake of relevance.
Not to be creative for the sake of recognition.
Not to be controversial for the sake of climax.

May we be the salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of the earth (Matthew 5:13), so that the house of God will be full (Luke 14:23)!
