The Seed Of God's Word

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jun 18, 2007

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?
