Salt & Light
“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again . . . You are
the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl . . . In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:13-16).
Recently, I had the opportunity to hear Gov. Mike Huckabee speak on these Bible verses in Matthew 5. God’s command to be salt and light had such significant meaning to him, and as a young teen it changed his life. What a powerful and moving message.

The salt and light message of Matthew 5 lays out simple instructions for God’s people. First, hold true and preserve the Word of God in its truth and purity. Then, you can show the world how forgiven children of God live redeemed lives, by letting your light shine.
At the WLHS Foundation, we also spend time considering how to be salt and light.
The WLHS Foundation is the salt to the ministry of the high school; to prepare young adults for productive, Christ-centered lives in a diverse world. WLHS Foundation supporters are the light, sharing gifts, either now or upon entering their eternal home with Jesus.
Wisconsin Lutheran High School has the amazing opportunity to train up young men and women and to give them the tools to let their lights shine. The WLHS Foundation helps serve this ministry with scholarships and tuition assistance. Our goal is to endow more scholarships, department chairs, and even full departments.
You can help be the salt of the WLHS Foundation and preserve Christian education at Wisconsin Lutheran High School. You can shine your light and share your gifts, either now or when planning for the future when Jesus takes you home. By doing so, you give generations of students the chance to learn how to be both salt and light.
