Pastor Ray continues the illumination of the parable of the sower in Luke Chapter 8. The key to the parable of the sower is a willingness to suffer, as we deny ourselves take up our cross and follow Jesus.
There are many remarkable things about James Turner's walk with Jesus but the chief one is his brutal honesty before God and to himself. There's no real heart change without this transparency.
I'm not saved from ignorance or shortcomings, neither from mistakes and infirmities of various kinds. Yet I believe it to be a Christian's privilege to love God with an undivided heart and his neighbor as himself." Amen!
