Christ's Parables part 2

Parable of the Sower

Matthew 13:3-9, 18-23; Mark 4:3-9, 14-20; Luke 8:4-8, 11-15

sow- to plant seeds
wayside- hard ground that has been walked on (such as a path or road)
devoured- ate
withered away- died

These are all interpretations that I have come up with from the scriptures or my own:

The seed means- the word of God
wayside means- those that hear but Satan comes and takes the belief away
stony places means- those that hear but don't have a place to put forth their roots and then fall into temptation
among thorns means- those that hear but are choked by the things of the world
good ground means- those that hear and take it to heart and are living the word of God

So choose your soil.
Are you going to be the wayside or the road?
Or the rocks?
Or the thorns?
Or will you choose to be the good ground and plant the word of God into your heart and let it grow?

None of the soils in the parable had to stay in the condition it was in. We choose what soil we are.

To improve your soil lets take out the rocks and thorns in our lives or the temptations and tribulations and cast them out and shun them as you would a disease. Then lets get the good ground coming by reading the word of God and praying to our Father in Heaven for help. Improving your soil will let those spiritual seeds or the word of God more fully plant themselves into your heart and you will be more open to the enticing of the Spirit.

The Challenge the "Book of Mormon" makes to the world

I have a strong testimony that the Book Of Mormon is true! I love it and I read it everyday. I constantly pray to have a reassurance that it is true. I know with all of my heart, might, mind and soul that it is TRUE! The reason I pray constantly to know that it is true is to have an unwavering testimony of it. I know Joseph Smith translated it for the world to read. I don't want to hide the principles and teachings it has of Jesus Christ in it from the world. I know it is ANOTHER Testament of Jesus Christ that HE LIVES! And that He loves ALL nations kindred, tongue and people. If our Heavenly Father wants to give us more scriptures to know that He and His son live how dare we say they can't! This wonderful book does NOT replace the Bible! It builds upon the truths that are in it! I love it and I invite you to read it and find out for yourself that it is true. I found this challenge and I want to share it.

Planning and executing my trip to Europe!

On February 1st I decided I would take a trip to Europe! I was sitting at work at H&R Block and talking with a coworker and just randomly decided that I would go visit a friend in Spain. As time went on I didn't know if it would be possible but I was determined. I decided I would go donate plasma to help earn money. I donated once and it was an interesting experience. The following week on Feb 9 I got a letter from them telling me I couldn't donate plasma anymore because I got a false positive for a test, so they couldn't trust my blood. I was super bummed about it, but I was still determined. I was constantly looking at flights and playing around with dates, departure cities, and arriving cities. On February 11 I found a great flight to Paris on April 24 and coming back on May 25, so round trip for only 420$! For that price I can fly to my family in GA round trip! So I pulled the money together that day and I bought it! I just made a life long dream a reality. ...

Book of Mormon

There is a power to the Book of Mormon that you can't find in any other book. Everyone feels that Mormons replace the Bible with the Book of Mormon which is NOT true! The Book of Mormon is ANOTHER testament or witness of Jesus Christ and it expands, confirms and builds upon the truths in the Bible. Every principle in this book is focused on Jesus Christ and how we as a people can come closer to him. One passage says that the Book of Mormon "shall establish the truth" of the Bible "and shall make known to all kindreds, tongues, and people, that the Lamb of God is the Son of the Eternal Father, and the Savior of the world; and that all men must come unto him, or they cannot be saved" 1 Nephi 13:40 My testimony of the Book of Mormon is what I strive to share! I KNOW it is true with all of my heart! Everything that the Book of Mormon states helps you draw closer to Christ.
