Miller emphasizes the profound impact of the seeds we scatter in the lives of others, particularly through the nurturing influence of a mother and the collective contributions of family and society. He illustrates how every action, word, and thought serves as a seed that can grow into either good or evil, shaping character and destiny. The sermon warns that both positive and negative influences leave lasting impressions, and we must be mindful of the seeds we sow, as they will ultimately return to us in some form. Miller encourages listeners to focus on scattering seeds of love, truth, and goodness, while recognizing the inevitable consequences of our actions. He concludes with the reminder that our lives are interconnected, and we will reap what we sow, both in this life and the next.
Temporal Consequences and Eternal Ones
By A.W. Tozer0GEN 2:17ROM 14:10GAL 6:7A.W. Tozer emphasizes the vital connection between our actions and their consequences, asserting that both temporal and eternal outcomes are significant in the lives of believers. He points out that while it is commendable to live with an awareness of eternal consequences, living solely in fear of temporal repercussions is detrimental and unjustifiable. Tozer warns that this fear has cast a shadow over the church, leading to a moral decline that undermines true faith and reverence for God. He calls for a return to a mindset that prioritizes eternal truths over immediate fears.
