The very idea
of setting standards of excellence for Christian discipleship may sound odd or
even wicked. Certainly any attempt to do so is fraught with difficulties. Still,
for us as Christians and churches, to continue wallowing in our current Olympian relativism, when not actually celebrating it, leaves
Jesus with little meaningful witness in our lives or world. Today Jesus is
calling us to do better.

Sowing Seeds of Truth Today (Matthew 13: 1-9, 18-23)
A quick retelling
with different words
Jesus once
told a crowd a story about a man who sowed seeds (Matthew 13:1-9). Later, he explained
the meaning of the story to his disciples (13:18-23).
The seeds are words of truth witnessing to the presence of the Kingdom of God in our midst.
Some people hear these words clearly but do not understand them at all. Satan easily removes these words from their awareness. These people never give them another thought.
