If millennials resist chain restaurants and opt instead for something more authentic than mass-market productions, surely those who want to reach millennials should adopt similar attitudes, right?”

“Salt of the Earth”Back to Basics
“Jesus’ words had a threefold application. First, in Jesus’ day salt was used as a preservative since there was no refrigeration. His listeners would have understood Him to be saying that they were to have a preserving effect on the world that they were living in.”
