Near Cripple Creek, Colorado, Gold And Tellurium ...

Near Cripple Creek, Colorado, gold and tellurium occur mixed as tellurite ore. The refining methods of the early mining camps could not separate the two elements, so the ore was thrown into a scrap heap.

One day a miner mistook a lump of ore for coal and tossed it into his stove. Later, while removing ashes from the stove, he found the bottom littered with beads of pure gold. The heat had burned away the tellurium, leaving the gold in a purified state.

The discarded ore was reworked and yielded a fortune.

God’s word is the Gold that we are mining. We are the tellurium. We and Gods Word together make the tellurite. The world is the fire and sadly to say sometimes the Church is the fire that separates the two. Gods Word is within us but we just can’t get a handle on it until we face the fires of living in what has become a very sinful world.

Once we go through the fire and get that pure Gold we can start to live and know the Creator and Righteous God. (Sower’s Seeds)
