Expectations of the Christmas Season, Let Your Light Shine Before Others

“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.“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.  Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.  In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”- Matthew 5:13-16“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.“Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.  But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,  so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.”- Matthew 6:1-4This Episode's Links: The Rise of the Biomedical Security State | OFFICIAL TRAILER 100 Years Ago: Car runs off Platte River Bridge (Greeley Tribune) 'Outraged mom says school staff gave 13-year-old daughter a chest-binder, encouraged her to keep gender transition a secret from parents: 'Very definition of child predatory sexual grooming'' 'Best economy ever!
