Jesus was clear that his followers are to be servants: "Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant...just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."  (Matthew 20:26-28)  Service flows naturally and inescapably from the teachings and example of Jesus.  "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.  For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it." (Luke 9:23-24)

Salty Service makes a difference in people's lives - both those being served and those serving.  Salty Service makes us "doers and not hearers only" (James 1:27)  Salty Service connects the lives of disciples with the ongoing work of Christ in the world.  Salty Service restores credibility to those who would share a Gospel of love to a doubting world.
