"What harmony can there be between Christ and the devil? How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever? And what union can there be between God's temple and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God said: 'I will live in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be My people. Therefore, come out from among unbelievers, and separate yourselves from them,' says the Lord. 'Don't touch their filthy things, and I will welcome you.'" (2 Corinthians 6:15-17, NLT)

"You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men. You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; neither does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 5:13-16, NAS)

Lord, help us be salt and light, in Jesus' name. (Art by Tim Cox, used by permission. Thanks, Tim, and God bless you.)

"How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog- it's here a little while, then it's gone. What you ought to say is, 'If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that.' Otherwise you are boasting about your own pretentious plans, and all such boasting is evil." (James 4:14-16, NLT). Lord, Your perfect will be done in our lives, in Jesus' name. (Art by Mark Maggiori, used by permission. Thanks, Mark, and God bless you.)
