DHMinistries

I sit in my study—my corner of this great big world and I’m happy to be home in Jasper.  Over the holiday season my husband and I spent our time travelling Europe to participate in two of the most important components of our lives—our family and our ministry of spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I saw the value of the Words of Jesus in the parable of sowing seeds and allowing His Holy Spirit to bring the growth and increase.    First the family, where the love of Christ had been shared among the siblings, nephews and nieces and brought forth those with hearts after God.  And our own children who serve on the mission field of Austria.  Second the churches where for years we have ministered the Word of God and served among the people.  These both spoke of the faithfulness of God.  Not all the seeds survive but many do and when they do they bring joy to our hearts and change the face of a nation.

We are in the throes of political battle and men come under the microscope of human weakness.  To carry the message of true freedom will come through those whose heart is burdened not for the next election but the next generation—we the people of God are those that sow the seeds and the seeds we sow will decide the quality of the next and perhaps final harvest.

 We must and should vote our conscience, we must know the truth for only the truth will set our nation free—are there steps to take?  Is there a platform upon which to rest our choices?   Many have asked those questions and the answer is as it has been for two thousand years.  Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life…”   The authority of the Holy Scriptures has not nor will not change, it bears the mark of suffering and courage and expels life that guards and guides the path of those seeking to know wisdom.  Wisdom that will govern right choices.

In his Second Inaugural Address, now inscribed on one wall of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D. C.:  Abraham Lincoln said, “With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds…. “As a nation we are not in civil war but we are in a spiritual war, ours is the choice of the seeds we sow.     

Each man has his own corner of the world and each corner connected to the whole affects and influences the growth, be it for good or evil.
