In His Time

mikeandsus

“It’s you!” Angela exclaimed. I looked at her with a puzzled look. She had just taken a sample for a blood test and I held out a tract for her like I usually do. “I had just started working here last May when someone gave me a little booklet,” Angela explained as she took “Beginning Your Journey of Significance” from me. “Since I was new here, I did not know who gave it to me. I still have it and read it.” “Yes, it was probably me.” I actually had been at the doctor’s office quite a few times in … Continue reading In His Time

Meeting Needs

mikeandsus

Maybe handing a tract to someone is not your idea of loving the nonbeliever, but handing them a box of groceries would be your best expression of God’s love to them. I ran across a number of different Christian websites today letting you know how you can volunteer your time and reach people for Christ. I am listing them specifically on the Sower’s Tools and Tips blog and will add to them when I find more. REMINDER: I also highly recommend a very good article by Tim Chester in The Sower’s online newspaper. Tim encourages us to reach out to … Continue reading Meeting Needs

The Sower and His Seed

mikeandsus

I learned a lot from Joe Jack Dement. Since the excellent video on the Parable of The Sower, featured in the last post, is only on the web temporarily, I am posting some thoughts I gleaned from this 80-year-old wheat farmer. Jesus explains the seeds and the meaning behind the birds, the footpath, and the other parallels in His parable. Mr. Dement’s knowledge of wheat farming adds to our understanding of the parable. WHEN and WHERE Just as the farmer casts the seed away from him, we can drop a little word about Jesus, a Bible verse, or a Scriptural … Continue reading The Sower and His Seed

Modern Parables

mikeandsus

A friend directed me to Bible study videos of Jesus’ parables. The videos and extra materials are available to purchase on disc or as downloads. Modern Parables is allowing us to view all six of their films in their entirety for a limited time. I particularly liked The Widow and the Judge and The Sower. I enjoyed the others, too. For more thoughts about The Sower video, go to the post at the main Sower site. These videos could be used for evangelistic purposes and are of high quality. In fact, I sent the link to Modern Parables to a … Continue reading Modern Parables

The Sower: Explained by a Farmer

mikeandsus

With the start of a new year, and a less hectic schedule before me, I plan to return to posting every ten days or so. Thank you for your patience! A friend directed me to a great video which explains the parable of the Sower. The film follows an 80-year-old wheat farmer who explains about growing wheat and how weeds, poor soil, and other factors Jesus mentions in his parable will affect wheat plants. This complete video is only available for a limited time, so you may want to watch it ASAP. I posted my thoughts after viewing the video … Continue reading The Sower: Explained by a Farmer

The Disconnect

mikeandsus

I was glad and sad when my husband bought a transponder for the van I drive. I liked the convenience of not having to stop to pay tolls, but was saddened that I would not be handing tracts to the toll collectors anymore. Have you ever thought of the many ways we have been disconnected from the people around us? We swipe a card at the gas pump. We use an ATM instead of chatting with the bank teller. We can do our own checkout now at several stores. Increasingly, we can do many things without interacting with people. When … Continue reading The Disconnect
