2Kings 2:19 And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and the ground barren. 20 And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him. 21 And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the Lord, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land.
Our pastor was talking about the negative, hateful speech on the internet and Facebook and how it is contrary to the Lord's command to love thy neighbor as thyself. The Lord did not charge us to fight against sinners, but rather to take a stand against sin. "Love the sinner, hate the sin". Our speech needs to be seasoned with salt. The salt will deal with pride, arrogance, self righteousness, hate, etc.
