Crops go through three stages: green, ripe, rotten. Harvest is effective only at one stage. Likewise, intervention, at the right time, can produce a rich spiritual harvest. The Challenge: Don't Come Out Empty-Handed - The world has more winnable people than ever before... but it is possible to come out of a ripe field empty-handed.

Dr. Wright preached on Mark 4:26-29 (NRSV)
