Why Must season with salt?
'When will we understand that we've only one life to make things right, that we'll never again see the moments that've passed? When will we realise that we don't have to pretend to be someone that we really aren't? When will we figure out that the many selfish things we do to protect our pride actually brings more hurt to everyone in the end? When will we realise that we don't always have to be right? When will we understand that it's pointless to struggle on our own to live that perfect life? When will we ever figure out that sometimes we just can't make it on our own? When will we ever grasp the fact that God's the solution we've all been looking for, but overlooked and rejected all along?'

`Abiboy': =) yup.. God is our solution to our questions.. but question here, that we have all not answered and done yet.. Then Why are we still holding onto those things? Surrender..
I totally agree with chris..(and myself) in fact we tend to forget what's there in our hands.. right at our side.. ok.. let just look at our lives and find out why..
What do we pursue in life?
-Results
-Skills
-Money
-Things we want
-Attention
-Love
-.....
Ok.. and there's still a long list of things that goes on... anyway.. typical singaporean will pursue all these things.. but typical christians do pursue all these things.. whelther you like it a not.. ITS A FACT! haha.. and this is all part of our nature..YOU CANT DENY IT! and if you look at in this way.. we people love to say, "Oh.. i want to change the world for God!" , "I want to tell the whole world about Jesus/His Love for me!" and true enough most will carry this out for a while yadadadada.... but after a while you have to agree with me that SOME will end up doing it for another reason... pursueing something else..(although we say, we are doing this for God). For the other rest... hopefully it is true that they are pursueing for the things of God from their heart. Being satisfied with God, and through that its an act of worship onto the Lord.
Ok.. back to the "half-header" why is this happening.. well.. basically our world is ever so much changing and influencing people all around the world.. its a thing we can't avoid. And that we sometimes tend to get excited and rush into things..and we miss the whole process of building our firm foundations. Its pretty common among youths and now even in adults. Well.. this is why we tend to change our sense of direction in life,
and we got to take note that we are beings that are looking for something to fill up that DEEP sense of emptyness, which we try using money, results, achievements, music and many other stuff to fill that up.. NO! it won't work! why? Let me simply put it this way, God created us with that emptyness..that only the GREATEST LOVE can fill, can mend up. And i'm sure you all know the Love is from God, Jesus...
Lets look at those rich business man... they are always pursueing for money, businesses.. never ending.. and for that until now.. and in the future, they can NEVER NEVER fill that emptyness in their heart...
And like what i replied chris.. i say to you... SO why are we still holding onto all these... and sometimes we tend to miss out the MOST important ingredient in our life, which is the salt.. God.. our salt...
Q:Why must we be season with salt in our lives..?
A:Because it is the ingredient of our lives.. God is our salt of our lives.. =)
'Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.' Colossians 4:2-6
