Praise God we have gathered again in the Lord's House to hear his word preached

Ruth 4

What is a Christian? A follower of Jesus Christ. Luke's record of the calling of Levi boils that down to its basic essence. Christ's call to Levi, a look of love that gives rise to words of grace, is gracious, personal, simple, absolute, and powerful. Levi's response comes in three elements—a break with the past (he left all), a life in the present (he rose up), and a path for the future (he followed Christ). We still hear Christ in the gospel, and we may still turn to him in faith, and become Christians who follow their Saviour wherever he leads.

Without a doubt-this parable should be the most applied scripture into the heart of every pastor who stands in pulpits across America today bringing God Word to thousands weekly. Perhaps we would see less false conversions and no manipulation used to get the numbers up in their news announcements. Because this passage explains to believers the true response of hearts to the Gospel of Jesus Christ . Perhaps we as believers need to understand that only God can plow a heart , it is not a natural thing to love God and that is exactly what God does to a heart, changing a heart of hate to a heart that loves God and truly want to worship Him.
