    Come: To A Harvested Self

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 5, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,503 views

    Evil and good live side by side, so we need to accept our sinfulness in order to receive our salvation. God in Christ takes on Himself the penalty we should receive.

    It would seem that the negative things in life grow of their own accord, but that the good things, positive things, take a lot of work. If you are at all a pessimist, you will agree that bad things, destructive things, just happen. Nobody has to make them happen. They happen on their own. But good ...read more

    Why does God allow evil? Jesus answers this question in the parable of the weeds.

    HARVEST TIME In his book, The Case for Faith, Lee Strobel introduces us to the puzzling life of John Templeton. You’ve probably never heard his name, but Templeton was a contemporary of Billy Graham. In fact, they were both behind an evangelistic crusades in the 1940’s and 50’s.

    In Matthew 13:24-30, Jesus tells a parable that helps us understand. It’s a parable that answers this very question, If the kingdom of God is here, why is there still evil?

    Wheat and Weeds 6/01/08 AM Text: Matthew 13:24-30, 36-42 Introduction Turn with me to the Gospel of Matthew. Do you know what Matthew is trying to get across in this gospel?

    The Church is an imperfect organism. There are always going to be people within it who are opposed to Christ. OUr task is to teach people how to think Biblically and theologically; to continually be asking ourselves how the ideas we hear fit with God’s re

    It’s interesting that over the past few weeks and months there’s been a huge amount of interest in the economic crisis facing our world, but very little about the moral and ethical state of the world. Yet our state government is about to pass legislation that will allow women to terminate babies ...read more

    The Bible says that evil men shall wax stronger and stronger. Therefore, in this age of so much spiritual contamination, it is important for every believer to know how to deliver himself and how to help others.

    THE GARDEN OF EVIL PLANTERS Dr. D. K. Olukoya This week, our message is entitled, “The garden of evil planters.” We shall start by considering Matthew 13: 24-28: “Another parable put He forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which seweth good seed ...read more

    It is difficult to tell wheat from weeds at times, but come harvest they will be separated to eternal destinies

    This 2nd parable of Christ’s tells of an enemy that sowed "weeds" in the field of the Son of Man. But in the parable Christ instructs his laborers (the angels) not to yank out the weeds? How come?

    Give up your dreams of a “pure church”. The reality is there will always be a mixture of true followers and hypocrites. Make sure you’re ready for the judgment day and get on with the work of being fruitful!

    INTRO: I’ve got a confession to make. I love Roundup. I love the feeling of just going around, spraying a little bit of poison and then in a few days seeing those weeds shrivel up and die! It’s so much more fun than actually pulling the weeds up! But, the problem with Roundup is it can be ...read more

    Jesus leaves "weeds" in place to grow. Why don’t we? Because God loves better than we do!

    Some of Jesus’ parable is lost to us city dwellers. He was speaking to members of a much more agrarian society. They probably understood this in much more vivid terms than do we)but I think that we can learn some valuable lessons from this parable. I know that none of us here are farmers. ...read more
