Sowing Seeds

Sowing Seeds

Today's Scripture

"This most generous God who gives seed to the farmer that becomes bread for your meals is more than extravagant with you. He gives you something you can then give away, which grows into full-formed lives, robust in God."
(2 Corinthians 9:10)

Today's Word from Joel and Victoria

God is faithful to reward you for the seeds of His unconditional love and unending hope that you help to sow in the lives of others. Today's verse makes the astounding promise that the more seeds you sow, the more God will increase your supply of seed so you can be an even greater blessing to those around you. The seeds of His Word and His love that you sow will produce a harvest that you will also share in. You may or may not be able to see the final harvest in your lifetime, but that's where God's promise really kicks in. His promise is not only for this life, but for your eternal life! God wants to multiply His favor and abundance on your work, your health, your relationships and your finances to meet your own needs and have an abundance to share with others.

A Prayer for Today

God, thank You for Your faithfulness to me, and Your promises of blessings. May I serve You in everything I do today so that I may be found faithful. In Jesus' Name. Amen.



I was sent this from a friend that goes to Lakewood aka the church of Joel Osteen. I am interested to see what you guys have to say. "Today's verse makes the astounding promise that the more seeds you sow, the more God will increase your supply of seed so you can be an even greater blessing to those around you." I don't know how much I agree with this, I think God provides equally for those who believe in Him and do His will. I would tend to say that God increases your supply of seed as you serve Him.

And correct me if I am wrong but know where "This most generous God who gives seed to the farmer that becomes bread for your meals is more than extravagant with you. He gives you something you can then give away, which grows into full-formed lives, robust in God."
(2 Corinthians 9:10) is there a promise in here "...that the more seeds you sow, the more God will increase your supply of seed so you can be an even greater blessing to those around you." The verse says that God gives seed to the farmer basically so the farmer can have food for meals and something to give away to others. Meaning that if we give to others and do as God ask, He will supply us the seeds.

Abortion Still Isn't the answer

The reason why i can sport a save wildlife bumper sticker next to a Pro Choice sticker....

This question was brought to my attention a few weeks ago( i dont use bumper stickers but it made me think)....i would do the same. Its not that i think baby harp seals and their heads getting bashed in is any more important than the callous way that our own babies are aborted form our bodies.
~~We are from tip to toe overpopulated. Our eco system will not survive any more trees cut, land concreted, and animals bludgeoned. All this for our unbasic needs.
~~I know that women who dare abort their unborn child wouldn't make a suitable mother never the less.
~~We don't need anymore children up for adoption, we still have plenty without homes now.
~~Children come as a test at a time in our life when we need them(though it never seems so) embrace it.
~~Funny one--soon we are not going to have any meat to eat with the amount we waste and destroy a year. Then we can all be vegetarians. More vegetarians care about the eco system then these meat lovers and they need to reconsider what they are doing to our earth. Or youmay not have a choice but to eat veggies in a decade or so(if we are here that long, but thats another digression)
~~I dont even think that families should be able to have more than 2 children(the chinese figured it out) Not that i wish for the gov to have that kind of control but something needs to be done. I also cant stand these women who have children solely to collect more welfare. I've known a few who do! If you cant afford the child quit having them. Birth control is practicly free these days in some form. You're broke. Don't procreate. Atleast not more than one.

Please recognize that i do not think abortion is right, or in anyway humane, i just have to admit that in many instances this is prob the only way to population control. Since it is so moraly wrong (it seems) to kill the bastard that raped and degraded our women, that molested our children and murdered our family.

This was a posting someone had on myspace. First off God told to reproduce and He created the earth...So don't you think that if there isn't going to be enough found for children(He would do something about it). So what if one day all we had to do is live off of vegtables(it is still food). Limiting the number of births women have isn't going to solve anything. NEITHER IS ABORTION OR CONTERCEPTION People need to get it out of their head that abortion and contraception are the answer to a growing population.

"I know that women who dare abort their unborn child wouldn't make a suitable mother never the less." Because a woman has an abortion does not mean that she is not fit to be a mother...it means she needs doesn't want to except the responsiblities of being a mother...She needs help to realize the meaning of being a mother
