Parable of the Weeds
Then he left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.” He answered, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world, and the good seed is the sons of…

Grain of Mustard Seed
He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds…

An Enemy

Parable of the Sower

Speak in Parables
This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. Matthew 13:13 layered quickpage: Homebody by Curio Pantry by Jessica; flower clusters by ADB Designs

Other Seeds
Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil, but when the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root, they withered away. Matthew 13:5-6 kit: Signs of Spring collab by Gingerscraps designers; brushes all from…

Buy Wisdom
Buy truth, and do not sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding. Proverbs 23:23 Solomon, who was the wisest man who ever lived (2Chron. 9:22-23), wrote the proverb quoted above. He was a “type” of Jesus in many, but not all, respects. Jesus told the scribes and Pharisees who wanted a sign from Him (to…

What Kind of Faith? (or “Let No One Deceive You”)
Question: Does your faith reassure you that even though you slip many times and “get dirty” the “pristine white robe” that was provided to you by Jesus when you believed on Him for salvation, He will forgive you and wash you clean again every time you ask Him (1John 1:7-10, Rev. 22:14); or does it…

A Willing Heart
We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians; our heart is wide open. You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted in your own affections. In return (I speak as to children) widen your hearts also. 2 Corinthians 6:11-13 God doesn’t forcefully take anything from us in this age of grace. That would be…

Parables About Readiness
Today, I noticed some similarities between the Parable of the Ten Virgins (in Matthew) and the Parable of the Foolish Builder (in Luke). Neither had prepared ahead for what would be needed. The foolish virgins had not thought about how the bridegroom could be delayed and so they should have brought along more oil for…

Question for You
Question: Has God become less worthy of your love now that almost 2000 years have passed since He gave His only Son to save you? Or has He become less powerful than He was, so that there is no longer any need to have a healthy respect for Him that you should obey? Is society…

Bad Company
Today I would like to share a recent post from Layout for Today. We are called to share the gospel with unbelievers, but that does not mean that we should get so comfortable with the world that unbelievers influence us more than we influence them…

Clothe Yourselves
Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe…

Welcome! (Why Clothe Yourselves?)
Welcome to my new blog! Thanks for meeting me here. My purpose is to post articles encouraging believers to prepare for the return of Jesus, the bridegroom of the church. (John 3:29, John 17:6, Eph. 5:29-32, Col. 1:24, 1 Cor. 6:15-20, 2 Cor. 11:2, Rev. 19:7-8, Rev. 9:14, Rev.17:14) The words spoken to those who…

Parables
Then the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?” And He answered them, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. For to the one who has, more will be given, and he…
