    Looking at the Parable of the Sower as a true parable, rather than an allegory.

    We are a bit past the growing season here in NJ. But the farmers’ markets are still booming with the harvest of seeds that were planted back in the spring. We have had extreme weather this year – first wet, then dry, with a miserable heat wave in the middle. I’m not sure it has been a bumper ...read more

    You can’t handle the Truth! But God can make you so that you can.

Because Coercion isn’t Conviction [2 Sam 23:15 – 16 / 1 Chronicles 11:16-19] 3. Because He already has [Luke 16:19 – 31] ...read more
