Dirt on your Bible

 Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed

(Matthew 13:3)

 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. (Matthew 13:4)

 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow.

(Matthew 13:5)

 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

(Matthew 13:6)

 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants.

(Matthew 13:7)

 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown (Matthew 13:8)

Choking in good soil

 Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field

(Matthew 13:24)

 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away.

(Matthew 13:25)

Good foundations… but…

Pullin’ weeds

Looking at his disciples, he said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. -- (Luke 6:20)

The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few -- (Matthew 9:37)

What can you do????The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor.

I Corinthians 3:8
