Sow And Grow Meets Reap And Eat!

I've Got Seeds!

Seed Seeds Or Word Seeds?!

Come On!
Words Aren't Seeds!

Says You!
And You Are Wrong, Wrong, Wrong!

Prove It!

Okie, Dokie!
You Are A Lovely Person
And Really Smart!

Why Thank You!
You Are A Beautiful Spirit!

SEED!

You're Kinda Special!
Two Screws Loose!
Elevator Stuck On Thirteen!

Just Like Your Mother!

Just Like Your Aunt Paul!

Yuh Fada Sista!

SEED! SEED! SEED!

Good Lord!
Please Explain This!

I Didn't Know This Seed Business
And Already I Don't Like It!

Okay!
When You Plant A Good Seed
What Do You Get?!

Almighty God Willing, A Good Harvest!

Before It Gets To The Harvest
What Does Your Seed Do?!

  • Send Down Roots
  • Raise Up A Trunk
  • Extend Branches And Stems
  • Grow Leaves
  • Show Blossoms
  • Yield Up Fruit


Very Good!
Now ... Tell Me What Happened
When I Said Something Nice To You?!

I Was Blessed
And I Said Something Nice In Return!

And When I Said Something Not Very Nice?!

I Was Affronted
And I Sought To Offend You
And You Offended Me, Again
And I Offended You, Again ...!

... Oh, Dear!

And What Did I Say!

Seed! Seed! Seed! 

A Word
Good Or Bad
IS
A Seed
To Do Good Or Ill!

This IS Very Distressing!

Why Is That?!

Because I've Been Firing Off My Mouth Recently!

Interesting Expression, Don't You Think!?!

Indeed!

A Loaded Gun
In A Careless
Angry
Willful
Uncaring Hand
Causes A Kill!

A Loaded Mouth
The Red Rag Unregenerated
AND
Lit By The Fires Of Hell
AND
Raging
Shoots Bullets
Which Kill Just As Dead!

I Can See That!!
How Do You Stop It!

The Savior IS Waiting
To Enter Your Heart! 
Let God's Holy Spirit Enter In!


Don't Let Anger Pride
Lust Covetousness
Willfulness Gainsaying
Arrogance Aggression
AND
Self
Plant Seeds
AND
Grow Fruit
That You Don't Ever Want To Eat!

Remember The Adage:

You Reap What You Sow!
You Eat What You Grow!


I Never Understood What That Meant ...!

... Until Now!

I Know What You Mean!

Live And Learn, Brethren!
Live AND Learn!

AMEN!!!

Honest Policy!?!





The Age-Old Adage
"Honesty Is The Best Policy!"
ISQuite Frankly
A Straight-up Lie!!

Man, From The Looks Of You
You Drank What You Should Have Anointed Yourself With
Because It Is Running Out Your Mouth
As Bare Ignorance!

Not So Fast, Slow-Poke!
He Is Right!

YOU Have Obviously Had Some Of HIS Libation!

Not At All!
Just Give Us A Hearing!

Simply Put
Honesty
ISYes!
ANDNo!

Policy
Simply Put
IS
Maybe Yes!
Maybe No!
AND
Maybe So!
Probably!
Likely!
Possibility!
To Our Understanding!
By Reason Of ...!
Our Interpretation Is ...!
As A Matter Of Convenience!
Etc. Etc. Etc.

Policy Statements Are Full Of Loop-Holes
Available Only To The Issuer
And Always Leave Room ...!
... For "Improvement!"
... For Escape!

Honesty Do Not Contain Wiggle Room!

Honesty As A Policy Has No Wings
Because
Policy Lacks Honesty
AND
Has Hidden Arrows That Sting!

If Your Honesty Needs A Policy
To Give Your Words Strength
THEN
You, My Brother
My Sister
Will See Almighty God As Your Judge
At Length!

Policy Is All About Craft
Expediency!
Convenience!

Honesty Is Not About Convenience!
Honesty Is Not A Convenience!
Honesty
- Truth -
IS!

So ...

What Do We Really Know?!

We Know That Any "Honest Policy" That Changes
According To Time
Circumstance
Personnel
Administration
Prevailing Conditions
Is A Shifting-Sand Lie!

Honesty Aka Truth
Needs No Color Nor Spin
AND
Policy Masquerading As Honesty
Will Never Get For One
The Everlasting Win!

Remember The Word Of God!
This Is An Honest - Truthful - Statement:


The Lord: The Same Yesterday
Today 
AND 
Forever!


You Should Check Out
The Ten Commandments ...!

... And The Beatitudes!
John 3:16
1 John 1:9
Psalm 23
Psalm 46
Isaiah 55:6-7

And, Then ...

For An "Honest" Comparison
Take A Look At, Oh
I Don't Know ... 

... A Policy Of Insurance!
A Credit Card Agreement
The Tax Code
Your Refrigerator Warranty
Or ...

... The Patient Information Pamphlet 
Distributed With Medicine 
When The Pharmacist "Forgets" To Remove It!

Oh, Dear ...!

When You Put It That Way ... I ... I!

Look At It Like This:

Honesty AND Policy
Can Never
- Will Never -
Cooperate
So 
By Careful Consideration
With Godly Fear
AND
With Jesus Christ As Your Example
Let Strict Honesty
Be The Guide Of Your Life!

Policy
Is
A Convenient Conveyance!

***

Honesty
Is
Precious
Soul-Saving Cargo!

PRESERVATION By ... SACRIFICE?!




Self
  • -Satisfaction
  • -Centeredness
  • -Aggrandizement 
  • -Love
  • -Serving
  • -Interests
  • -Righteousness

Must Be Set Aside
IF
Self-Destruction
Is To Be Avoided
AND
One Is 
- For Eternity -
To Find Christ's Peace
AND
Enjoy His Perfect Rest!

The Law Of Self
-Preservation
IS
The Law Of Self
-Sacrifice
AND
Every Other Ode To The Self
IS
A Satanic Device!
If We Would Look
At The Grain Harvests Of The World
We Will Learn Two Great Truths
That Pertain To Jesus Christ
The Creator
Of The Heaven And The Earth!

To Preserve Seed
To Fill Man's Food Need
The Best Seed
Is Thrown Out
To Suffer Death
In The Cold Earth
AND
In So Doing
It Regenerates
AND
Grows Again
Marching On To A Great Harvest
Again
To Feed The Earth!

The Not-The-Best Seed
Is Marketed 
For The Table
For The Consumption Of Men
Never To See The Light Of Life
Never To Praise The Lord -
The Last Word It Will Ever Hear Is:

Thank You, Lord! AMEN

As In Nature
So In The Spiritual Realm:

Christ's Death
Raises A Harvest Of Fruit
Because He Resurrected
Proving To Death
That He, The Lord Jesus Christ
Is, Indeed 
The Truth
The Way
The Only Way To Life
AND
All Who Will Work For Him
Will Preserve Surrendered-To-Christ Self
By Self ... SACRIFICE!

Today, We Celebrate Independence
BUT
Raging Independence 
May Have An Exposed Nail In Its Shoe
Piercing Those Who Live For Self
Introducing Blood-Poisoning -
That Disease Vile
So, Please 
Do Not Let This Happen To You!

"Give To Get!"Is The Old Adage
Even Today ... 
Still True
ANDI Beseech You, Brethren
Give Of Self
To The Service Of Christ Jesus
For
- In Pleasure And For Eternal Blessing -
The Almighty God
- Has Heavenly Delights
Including A Name
A Crown
AND
Even A Bright Mansion -
Prepared
- Personally -
For You!
I've Got One, Too!

Give To Live!
Live To Give!
