Salinarum

Why Salinarum?

Salinarum (Latin for ‘of salt’) is commonly associated with Halobacterium salinarum, a type of extremophile—microbes that are capable of living and withstanding extreme environments. This minuscule bacterium has adapted to its harsh conditions and overcome the odds, transforming what was once an uninhabitable situation into an opportunity to flourish. Similarly, Salinarum aims to take on challenges that organizations or individuals may believe are insurmountable and find solutions to conquer their goals.

Additionally, the Salinarum bacterium literally consumes light proton particles to survive, a fact that segues into the next section, one of the most quoted passages from the New Testament, Matthew 5:13-16.

To find out more about Halobacterium Salinarum you can read Eichler’s (2023) article from Microbiology, linked below.

Believers Are Salt and Light

^13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt should lose its taste, how can it be made salty?  It’s no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet. 

¹⁴  You are the light of the world. A city situated on a hill cannot be hidden.  ¹⁵ No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket, but rather on a lampstand, and it gives light for all who are in the house. ¹⁶ In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.”
