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

An invitation to join in reaching the world for Christ

mikeandsus

Today, we are sharing a well-done video, produced by Campus Crusade, to encourage people to consider using their business skills in full-time ministry. If you know someone, perhaps a college student, who is considering Christian work, please pass this link along to them. Or, you might just enjoy this three-minute video for yourself. Since we work in an administrative role in ministry, we liked the way this video helps show the many ways we can reach people around the world with God’s good news by what we do at headquarters. If you go to the home page for the site, … Continue reading An invitation to join in reaching the world for Christ

Meeting Needs

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
