The Mad Scientist Presents: MAD ABOUT JESUS: Scientific Object Lessons to Teach Biblical Truths By Daniel A. Briere

Object Lesson 5: "Grow With God"

LESSON :

God plants the seed. We have to be sure it grows.

SUMMARY :

The "Parable of the Sower", as written in Mark 4:3-8, describes the word of God given to his people. The "Parable of the Tenants", as written in Matthew 25:14-30, describes our responsibility to grow His word. Just as seed sown from a farmer may fall on a path, rocky places, thorns, or good soil, so must we insure a fertile ground for His word to grow. Moreover, this word must be nurtured to insure maximal growth. This is only possible by eliminating Satan, establishing strong roots, not letting desires for worldly things come in to choke the word of God, being active in prayer, and going to church. If we insure good soil and nurture the word, the bible says the seed will produce a crop thirty, sixty or even a hundred times what was sown. In this demonstration, we sow our "seeds" in fertile soil, add nurturing agents, and watch the expansion of the word grow 100 times instantly. » I want to read more! »
