Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Matthew 5:14,16"Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We’re going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don’t think I’m going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I’m putting you on a light stand. Now that I’ve put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you’ll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven."
Matthew 5:14,16

It is true, but sadly, it also makes one a target, especially in these days.
It is odd Reverend - I know I often sound like I do not see any evidence of the church at work in the world today (not God mind you, but the church) and once again, I see little evidence the church is either light or salt on the whole.
