    There are times in every Christian life when trials and tribulations seem so unfair. Often, they cause us (as they did Job) to lose sleep at nights.

    (King James Verssion) “When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.” (New King James Version) “When I lie down, I say, ‘When shall I arise, and the night be ended?’ For I have had my fill of tossing till ...read more

    The Seed Of God's Word

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jun 18, 2007
    based on 11 ratings
     | 17,427 views

    The key to a fruitful and abundant life is with our response to the Word. The way we receive the Word is critical to having a fruitful and blessed life. The seed is productive only if the soil is receptive. The Word is good seed; are you the good soil?

    This is a parable. Jesus explains: “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man” (Mt 13:37) • The field is the world, people of the world (13:38). • And the seed is the Word of God. The sower throws seed onto the ground. God is speaking to the world. • The seed falls onto the ground without ...read more

    God’s attitude toward the poor, I believe, will cause you and I to look on them as we never have before.
