Salt
You are the salt of the earth.But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.

I guess at that point it is not even good for the rim of a margarita. Icy roads?
Now that is scary thought for individuals and churches that have lost their "saltiness."
I've always wondered about that phrase. I think I understand what the writer meant, but it just seems that the concept of "salt losing its saltiness" is a contradiction of nature. Does salt EVER lose its saltiness, in the chemical realm? Does it deteriorate? Maybe I need to read some commentaries on this phrase. NOT using salt as a seasoning results in blandness...less "palatability" or "tastiness". I can understand that concept. Either you use it or you don't (or you use too little). But I just can't wrap my head around "salt losing its saltiness". (Salt is also a preservative...another good analogy.)
Must be possible or the analogy wouldn't have been used.
This is in a section of Scripture that I learned to read at a very young age, sitting on my mother's lap. She was helping me learn to read, beginning with the Sermon on the Mount in KJV!
The scary part in this analogy is the word, "loses". What can we lose as Christians, that we once gained?
