INTRO: We should be a vibrant part of our community. So many times we are only seen, heard of, and thought of on Sunday. Should not be! We should be so very much in the foreground and foremost thoughts of peoples' minds. WE SHOULD NOT BE HID!!!! They should have so much faith in us that they cannot but help think of us everyday. Let us seep into their thoughts and being, let us make Christ real to them! Let them know Christ IS, He LIVES, He IS REAL!!!!!

1. We are to be special to the world ( salt) vs.13
1. We need to be something they want
2. We need to be something they need
3. We need to be something they use
4. We need to be something they keep
5. We need to be something they depend on
   
   
2. They are looking at our every "flicker"
1. We light their paths
2. We draw them to us
3. We give them understanding
4. We give them hope
5. We give them Christ
   
   
3. Where we shine is as important as how much we shine
1. We must hold the light up high
2. We must protect the light
3. We must direct the light where it can penetrate
4. We must keep our light trimmed
5. We must hold it up with only His help (not letting others do our lighting)
