You are the Salt of the Earth by Ted Roberts
The author asks the question, is there any hope for an individual or an entire church that has lost its saltiness? Can we as Christians hide the Gospel light under a bowl when so many are wandering aimlessly in the darkness in need of the light that illuminates the path that leads to Heaven? His prayer is that this book will challenge all who profess to be Christians to be salty (flavorful) in a decaying culture. For salt is good, but if it loses it saltiness it is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. (Matthew 5:13). This book consists of 21 poems and 27 newsletters and an article titled If I were a Christian accompanied by many Scripture references filled with flavorful principles and illuminating truths from God's Word. His inspiration for these poems came from many different resources. Christian authors, many different Bible commentaries, sermons he has sat under, messages he has heard on the radio, personal experiences, nature, and most importantly from the Bible itself. There are literately hundreds (over 500) of Scriptures referenced in this book of poems. Ted Roberts and his wife Sue have been married for 28 years. By God's mercy and grace, they have persevered through the many storms that blew and beat against them in this life because they have built their house upon the rock (Matthew 7:24-27). His desire is that God will be glorified, that these poems will challenge and encourage those who read them.
Roberts, Ted: - Husband, Father, Former U.S. Marine Corps Fighter Pilot, Pastor, Leader, Counselor, Author. From the violent jungles of the Vietnam war to the hand to hand combat of getting free from sexual bondage, to pastoring and speaking before thousands, Dr. Roberts knows what it takes to conquer hell at close range. He brings not only a theological depth, but clinical expertise to the battle that has resulted in tens of thousands of men getting free and finding real hope in the grace of Christ. Pure Desire Ministries International began in the local church, as Dr. Ted and Diane Roberts, the founders, recognized the pervasiveness of sexual struggle in the church. The pat answers of the past only gave men and women a message of try harder which kept them isolated in their sin and shame. Over the course of two decades, they developed a strategy that is Biblically-based, clinically informed, and highly successful at creating lasting change. In 2007, Pure Desire became an independent 501c3 aimed at helping the church body across the country and around the world. In 2014, the award-winning video series, The Conquer Series began to put the message and principles of Pure Desire in front of more and more churches. This video series serves as an on-ramp for people in the church to understand the true nature of sexual addiction, and to seek healing in a grace-filled, redemptive way.
