Living like Salt Israelmore Ayivor once said, “Don't be a pepper on the eyes of people; Rather be the salt on their tongue and make a difference that influences their sense of belonging to the earth.” Many people hear the word salt and automatically think of a substance you put on food, but salt has numerous uses than just to season your meal. Salt is used to preserve and season food, to earn money, to confirm sacrifices in the Bible, and as a symbol of purity. Each one of the things listed all have a spiritual application that goes along with a verse in the Bible, Matthew 5:13, “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet.” Salt has several social, physical and family uses throughout our world’s history, but most importantly salt is the key in sharing the Gospel through the Christian Life. …show more content…
The first use of salt is being used as a seasoning and preservative. As christians we are suppose to season people’s lives with our words and actions so that they will have a desire to know Christ and be preserved as His child.

The 1700s was a time period of religious revival, people were now beginning to convert from Puritan beliefs to Christianity. This was called The Great Awakening, a great influence to this religious revival was Jonathan Edwards. Jonathan Edwards was a very passionate pastor who in his sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” called out unrepentant people he believed had turned their backs against the word of God and had not yet accepted his son Christ or salvation, causing them to be condemned to the pits of hell. In order to express his concern for those who had no yet accepted salvation and were on their way to hell, Jonathan Edwards utilizes rhetorical devices in order to persuade those who neglect God into accepting him and his salvation so they won’t have to live for eternity in hell.

Road salt, or rock salt as it's sometimes referred to, has the same molecular make-up as the salt used in food: sodium chloride. While table salt is purified, ground and combined with additives to prevent it from clumping, road salt is coarser in texture and larger in size. It is primarily made from mining it under the ground, where
It is Canadian natural instinct to “salt” the driveway every winter after it snows. A good example would be last year’s ice storms, in which salt was sold out everywhere. But how does salt work? Is it detrimental to the environment? And if so, how can we make our roads and sidewalks safe to commute on, while still being friendly to the environment?
Another one of Louisiana’s natural resources is salt. In the Middle Ages, salt was so expensive it was sometimes referred to as “white gold”. Only 6% of the salt used in the U.S. is used in food; another 17% is used for de-icing streets and highways in the winter months. Salt is all around us. Underground and on the earth’s surface in the dried up residues of ancient seas. Some salt has even arrived from outer space in meteors. But our biggest source of salt is in our seas and oceans. With an average of 26 million tonnes per cubic kilometre, sea water offers a seemingly inexhaustible supply which if extracted, would cover the world’s total land mass to a depth of 35
During the winter months in Toronto, we often see road salt used so much that once there was even a shortage!Most people from Toronto have to know that we use salt on our road, and some even use it on their driveways, but few know what the road salt actually does and how it affects us in the long run.

There is no other solution than to not do this, so I’m writing to you today to tell you why I think this. Initially, The salt that we put onto the road ends up affecting water quality.
The largest issue with road salt is how it is affecting our water supply. Road salt doesn't melt away with the winter season, but actually rushes into streams, lakes and our groundwater supplies.

Due to chloride’s density, the salt settles sinks and settles into the bottom of a waterbody. This chemical is toxic to aquatic life and can affect the taste of drinking water. Additionally, sodium also has negative effects, “altering the soil by replacing and releasing nutrients such as calcium magnesium, and potassium into the groundwater and the surface water.” This can also be harmful to aquatic life as the increase in nutrients will affect water’s ability to get rid of acid deposition. The addition of sodium in drinking water may be harmful to humans who follow a salt-restive diet. Additives to road salt, such as ferrocyanide, also have an impact on the environment and health of organisms that associate themselves with the contaminated

One of many examples would be my opening statement. “Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.” The meaning of the statement is important but in this scenario all that matters is why Jesus used salt as an example. He used salt because it is something everyone in the culture of that time can relate to. Another example is Matthew 5:13 “ Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under the foot of
