This post is about Sunday morning service I attended at the Grace Baptist Church at Taipei on December 27, 2009. The sermon was taken from Galatians 6:7-10 and preached by pastor Jim West.
7Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
Here's what I got:
- You can kid yourself about your choice of seed.
- Gal 6:7a, Do not deceive yourselves.
- Matt 18:12-13, The process of wandering from truth is one move at a time, so you'll never aware of it. Be careful!
- Matt 22:29, You are in error because you do not know the scriptures or the power of God.
- You can't kid God about your choice of seed.
- No one makes fool of God.
- God can't be mocked.
- We must not even try to ridicule God.
- You be careful about your choice of seed.
- The harvest we gather is a direct result of the seeds we sow.
- You never have a choice about what you harvest.
The law of harvest: If we sow good seed, we will reap good harvest.
The law of the ratio of harvest: if we sow a little we harvest a little, if we sow many we harvest many.
Summed up in a sentence: Every person harvests a crop, in due time, that corresponds to the seed he or she planted.
Probing question: What will be the crop that I will harvest?
