Quest for Truth 124 Sounds of a Softened Heart
Joined by a new sound man, and a live, canned studio audience, we have some fun to punch up the audio by having Chris interject sound affects for us. Who knew we were so funny, until we get our own laugh track? Even saying the most lame things.
Meet the Hosts
Cris gives us an update on how his surgery went. So far so good, but he’ll be hanging around the Church House studio for about another month before returning to his man cave.
Everybody else has been leading the typical, boring life, except for a broken down air conditioner here in Church House studio. Looks like a long, hot Summer, unless folks want to contribute funds to help get it fixed. Feel free to fund the project at PayPal, Goal: $1500 Just be sure to change the amount to whatever you might afford. Of course I’m joking… unless you’re really gonna do it.

Your identity is in Christ. Discipleship hard. God’s Word good. The church vital. The future glorious.

From the Random Department, we discuss: Is technology the new tower of Babel?
Trust me, we’re all for technology. It’s how we do the things we do. But it has some similar properties behind the purpose of the tower, mentioned in Genesis. A project instituted by humanity, to unify humanity, and ending by scattering people because God wasn’t in it. Technology has the power to unify and empower humanity, but it also carries a dark side to it that empowers people with malicious intent to do harm. Technology can augment our lives, but how far will people take it before it becomes opposite of what God wants for us?

The Parable of the Sower
1 Again he began to teach beside the sea. And a very large crowd gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat in it on the sea, and the whole crowd was beside the sea on the land. 2 And he was teaching them many things in parables, and in his teaching he said to them:
3 “Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow.
4 And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
5 Other seed fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil, and immediately it sprang up, since it had no depth of soil. 6 And when the sun rose, it was scorched, and since it had no root, it withered away.
7 Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no grain.
8 And other seeds fell into good soil and produced grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.”
9 And he said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Why Parables?
10 And when he was alone, those around him with the twelve asked him about the parables. 11 And he said to them, “To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but for those outside everything is in parables, 12 so that “they may indeed see but not perceive, and may indeed hear but not understand, lest they should turn and be forgiven.” 13 And he said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables?

14 The sower sows the word.
15 And these are the ones along the path, where the word is sown: when they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that is sown in them.
16 And these are the ones sown on rocky ground: the ones who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy. 17 And they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately they fall away.
18 And others are the ones sown among thorns. They are those who hear the word, 19 but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches and the desires for ot...
