Recently, while searching in the "depths"
of our basement for another item, I came across a bucket of black
walnuts that I had hulled and dried many years ago. I had forgotten
I had them. When I cracked one, I found it was as fresh and tasty
as ever perhaps more so! If I were to plant these walnuts, they,
no doubt, would produce the same kind of walnut trees from which
they came. That tree has been dead for many years.
Jesus said, in His parable of the Sower, that
the Word of God is the seed of the kingdom. Luke 8:11. The Bible
has been forgotten by millions of men and women; yet, it has retained
its life through the centuries. If the Word is planted in honest
hearts (good ground), it will produce the same kind of disciples
it produced almost 2,000 years ago!
Peter said we are born again by incorruptible
seed - the word of God "which liveth and abideth for ever."
1 Peter 1:22-25. We pray our humble efforts in the pages of this
paper will help a lost soul discover the life-giving kernel of
the Word of God.
