New Seed for Sowing


Finally, my latest batch of Bibles arrived from Christian Book Distributors. I ordered these back in early April, but the Wuhan Coronavirus crisis shut down their Massachusetts warehouse the day after I placed the order.

So thanks be to God we have some fresh seed to sow in our little corner of the harvest field. In these troubling times it is the word of God that people need. What we see happening in our country is the outworking of sin in the hearts of men: the problem is not the color of a person's SKIN, the problem is SIN. This sin is rooted in the hearts of men, and it works its way out in various forms. Jesus said,


"And he (Jesus) said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."  Mark 7:20-23

What we need is to be delivered from our sin, and that is why we give out the word of God. Everyone needs to hear & understand the gospel, God's "vaccination" for the sin disease, if you will. When a person believes the gospel, trusting in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of their sins, the Holy Spirit of God moves in and begins a work in the heart of man, changing him on the inside that eventually works its way out in his mind (how he thinks) and his actions (how he lives).

Want to stop racism in America? Share Jesus Christ with everyone around you. If you don't know Jesus and are not born again, get in touch with us (see "contact us" in the header bar above). If you do know Jesus, get busy sowing the seed of the gospel: be a "seed sower" here in Iowa or wherever you live in this world! If you want ideas to help, you may get in touch with us as well.

Maranatha!
Paul
