Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.Questions

Lets Pray
Take a few minutes to pray for one another and any specific areas (or people) in our world that need salt and light.
