Dear friends and partners:
Thank you for your generous support each and every month. Your prayers and financial gifts to this ministry are seed sown into the lives of those who hear the gospel through the various media outlets and the Home Church Group of One Hope Outreach Ministry.
13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables? 14 The sower soweth the word. -Mark 4:13-14 (KJV)
The Eden within:
In the Holy Bible’s creation account, God made man in His own likeness and image. Since God is Spirit then man in likeness is also a spirit being. The spirit of man is the heart of man, the innermost part of his existence. In the innermost part of man, “the heart” God has enabled man to receive words that come as seed planted. In Mark’s gospel account (4:14-20 KJV) Jesus likens the heart of man to soil of which seed are sown and the seed sown here are words. In this scripture account some seed fell on hard, rocky soil and didn’t produce anything while other seed fell into good soil which produced abundantly. The seed in this parable was all the same. The determining factor was the condition of the soil or the heart. The hard, rocky soil represents a hard heart that is resistant to truth. The good soil represents a tender and open heart to the truth.
When the seed of gospel truth is received into the heart and acted upon, that seed will then produce a harvest of eternal value both in this life and in the life hereafter.
What about you? Has the soil of your heart been tilled lately? Are you receptive to the life changing message of the Holy Bible? I urge you to open the Bible and read afresh with an open heart to receive. God will meet you there!!
