If The WORD of GOD has fallen on the heart of any individual since the assassination of Charlie Kirk, what soil of heart did it fall upon? 

Time will tell. 

The Parable of the Sower reveals the conditions of mankind’s hearts.  

Matthew 13:  1That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea. 2 Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore. 3 And He told them many things in parables, saying, “A farmer went out to sow his seed. 4 And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.  5 Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil and produced a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.  9He who has ears, let him hear.”  source

Reading further in the chapter, we learn the Seed is the Word of GOD, the Gospel of JESUS. We also learn that this GOSPEL is spread abroad, offered to people for acceptance or rejection. When that Seed falls on the soil of the heart of a repentant, receptive soul, salvation comes, and fruit will follow.

The Parable reveals types and conditions to us. Some people hear The Gospel, and their hearts are so cold, deceived, and/or callous that they immediately turn away.  Some hear the Gospel and have an emotional response that feels good for a while, but the pull of the world is so strong that they return to life as usual.  Still others also have an emotional response that lasts for a while, but disappointments come, and they figure this GOD-thing is not for me and go on their way.
And then there are the few who hear The Gospel, admit their need of The Savior, that He is the only One with holy forgiveness and Life, and they say YES! And as they walk with JESUS, He produces fruit in them; the more they yield to Him, the more fruit.

Did GOD birth you into His Kingdom since September 10? Then there will be fruit.

Did GOD impart a revelation of Himself in you since September 10? Then there will be fruit. 

Some a hundred-fold, some sixty-fold, some thirty-fold.

Thirty is better than nothing, but let’s not settle for the least. Whatcha say? 

Until we gather here again, Holy hugs, Kathie עֶבֶד
