"Salt and Light" is a new album from Contemporary Christian songwriter Bob Smith, who is following up on his other releases: "You're Not Alone," "Out of My World" (2013 Grammy considered), "Eagles' Wings," "Faith," and "24 Hours." Unlike some of the popular music today, each track on these albums contains a positive life message, for the here-and-now or the hereafter. I hope you enjoy the music. But beyond that, I pray the songs move you - to joy, to tears, to faith, to action.

In particular, "Salt and Light" focuses on a wide variety of Christian themes, from hope to love to obedience to God's word. The songs convey a sense that I'm concerned about the direction of our country, at both national and individual levels. This is not a new direction, nor is it a new sentiment. I believe we have been heading down a precarious path for my entire lifetime, one in which human wisdom trumps the word of God when it comes to our words and our actions. It is a common belief that the values of our ancestors don’t apply today and that ethics and behaviors are generational. But that belief couldn’t be more wrong. There are moral absolutes clearly stated in the Bible, and history has proven time and time again that when a country strays from those absolutes, decline is imminent. Obedience is not that hard - love God and love others sums it up, and this is reflected in the lyrics of "Salt and Light."
