\u201cSalt\u201d addresses our desire to help others. With so many needs around us how can we make a difference in meeting the needs of those who struggle? Drawing upon Jesus\u2019 Sermon on the Mount, this video suggests that those who would serve should certainly act when they can accomplish some great good thing, but there is also value in the small gesture.<\/p>\n

I would appreciate your response to the video in the comment section below.<\/p>\n
