The Message in the Writing

mikeandsus

“Here’s $5.05 for your $2.02.” I handed the optician my money with a bemused smile. “And here’s $3.03 for your $5.05,” he replied as he handed me my change. We were both amused with how the money came out. I was still smiling as I offered him a tract, Would You Like To Know God Personally. “I already know the Lord,” he said as he handed it back to me. “Please give this to someone else.” “Here is something for you, then.” I took the tract from him and offered Discovering God in Chinese Characters to him. “This tells how … Continue reading The Message in the Writing

Recycling

“Thank you,” Doctor Marty said, “these look interesting.” I handed four Creation magazines to him to leave out in his waiting room. If you are a frequent reader of The Sower, you may have noticed my posts have been irregular lately. I’ve been very busy with a lot of doctors’ appointments. Quite a few of these doctors are believers, so I’ve been offering them my back issues of Creation magazine. By sharing your old magazines, books, videos, and music, you will touch people’s lives. I also have more waiting room suggestions and more ideas about giving away Christian materials on … Continue reading Recycling

The Waiting Room

mikeandsus

If you have Christian magazines, take some with you next time you are visiting a waiting room. Your pediatrician might enjoy having Focus on the Family magazines for his waiting room or exam rooms. The magazine could be their monthly newsletter magazine or a subscription. Take a handful of Significant Woman tracts with you on your mammogram appointment for the waiting room. (Beginning Your Journey of Significance and Living a Life of Significance). Maybe you have a Christian video for your doctor’s waiting room or flyers for your church’s next big outreach event. Be sure to ask permission to leave … Continue reading The Waiting Room

The Moral Choice

mikeandsus

“Are you reading the Bible?” I asked as I sat at the kitchen table with a friend of our son’s, Aadesh. “Yes,” he replied. Aadesh had asked for a Bible earlier this summer after I had told him that the Bible had a lot to say about financial principles. “What are you reading?” “Romans,” he replied. Wow! I thought. What a deep book of the Bible to start in! Aadesh explained that some other people had recommended Romans as a good place to start with to learn what God says about finances. He was very interested and seemed to agree … Continue reading The Moral Choice

The Christian’s Secret of . . . Service

mikeandsus

I am reading an abridged version of Hanna Whitall Smith’s The Christian Secret of a Happy Life. Her advice in her chapter, “Service”, is very encouraging. If you think you have to meet every need and help in every ministry opportunity, or you are unsure about what directions to take in ministry, she advises: “The life of trust also delivers us by reminding us no individual is responsible for all the work in the world, only for a small share. I may have five, or two, or only one talent. I am to do that which I am called to … Continue reading The Christian’s Secret of . . . Service

The Encouragers

“I already know the Lord,” she smiled and tried to hand the Passage tract back. Pearl was the third, vibrant Christian I had given a tract to in the past ten days. I said she should keep the tract and share it with someone else. I would much rather have her share Christ with someone I may never meet than get the booklet back! Besides, if any of these Christians need to share their faith, I hope my example may encourage them to start. Also, last week, Jenny and I stopped in the Wal-Mart hair salon for some shampoo and … Continue reading The Encouragers
