Other Lessons from Seed-Sowing In the laws of God in nature, effect follows cause with unerring certainty. The reaping will testify as to what the sowing has been. The slothful worker is condemned by his work. The harvest bears witness against him. So in spiritual things: the faithfulness of...

Other Lessons from Seed-Sowing In everything that tends to the sustenance of man is seen the concurrence of divine and human effort. There can be no reaping unless the human hand acts its part in the sowing of the seed. But without the agencies which God provides in giving sunshine and showers...

I believe this is a reference to Jesus: [Rev 13:8 KJV] 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Other Lessons from Seed-Sowing From the work of seed sowing and the growth of the plant from the seed, precious lessons may be taught in the family and the school. Let the children and youth learn to recognize in natural things the working of divine agencies, and they will be enabled to grasp...

The judgement will determine those who are in the Book of Life. None of us are in the position to determine anyone's salvation.

“Like a Grain of Mustard Seed” Matthew 13:31, 32; Mark 4:30-32; Luke 13:18, 19. In the multitude that listened to Christ's teaching there were many Pharisees. These noted contemptuously how few of His hearers acknowledged Him as the Messiah. And they questioned with themselves how this...

Tares Matthew 13:24-43 “Another parable put He forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field; but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth...

I believe that this video will answer many questions about Bible prophecy, specifically Daniel and Revelation. It is 1 hour 26 minutes long and amazingly well done.

“First the Blade, Then the Ear” The good seed may for a time lie unnoticed in a cold, selfish, worldly heart, giving no evidence that it has taken root; but afterward, as the Spirit of God breathes on the soul, the hidden seed springs up, and at last bears fruit to the glory of God. In our...

Chapter 3—“First the Blade, Then the Ear” Mark 4: 26 - 29 The parable of the sower excited much questioning. Some of the hearers gathered from it that Christ was not to establish an earthly kingdom, and many were curious and perplexed. Seeing their perplexity, Christ used other illustrations...

In Good Ground “And bring forth fruit.” Those who, having heard the word, keep it, will bring forth fruit in obedience. The word of God, received into the soul, will be manifest in good works. Its results will be seen in a Christlike character and life. Christ said of Himself, “I delight to do...

Can you expound a bit on the Biblical references you presented and explain how this meshes with further references in the Bible for this subject. I am a little skeptical of the conclusions you have drawn and it is quite likely I am not the only one.

In Good Ground The sower is not always to meet with disappointment. Of the seed that fell into good ground the Saviour said, This “is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.” “That on the good...

Jesus did speak of tithing: Mat 23:23 KJV Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier [matters] of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Luke adds...

Preparation of the Soil Throughout the parable of the sower, Christ represents the different results of the sowing as depending upon the soil. In every case the sower and the seed are the same. Thus He teaches that if the word of God fails of accomplishing its work in our hearts and lives, the...

Among Thorns Many parents seek to promote the happiness of their children by gratifying their love of amusement. They allow them to engage in sports, and to attend parties of pleasure, and provide them with money to use freely in display and self-gratification. The more the desire for pleasure...

Jesus did say he would build his church and the gates of hell would not prevail against. This verse was twisted by the Catholic Church when they made the pope the successor of Peter. Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the...

The Five Solas are the foundational principles of the Reformation. It would be nice to get back to that.

Among Thorns “The deceitfulness of riches.” The love of riches has an infatuating, deceptive power. Too often those who possess worldly treasure forget that it is God who gives them power to get wealth. They say, “My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.” Deuteronomy...

I did a little research concerning the recent shake-up in the Methodist denomination ( see below). I was a Southern Baptist in my early years and was discouraged from delving into their theology, all I remember was attending one time with my aunt and I tried to sit in a pew that appeared to...
