And no, I’m not talking about the sort of “seed” that “prosperity gospel” hucksters on TV try to connive you to send them.
Over at his blog today, Tim Brister reminds us about the parable of the sower, found in all three synoptic Gospels, including Mark 4:1–20.
The point of Jesus’ parable is that the seed, the gospel, is spread over all kinds of soil, but only takes root in good soil. Tim is right when he says that we’re too stingy in spreading the seed — only looking for a place where it can sprout — rather than trusting God to give the increase.
Tim’s full post is at his blog Provocations and Pantings.
