What's In Your Garden?

I’m not the gardener in the family, but one thing I  know is, if you plant zinnia seeds you won’t harvest carrots.  Sadly, there are Christians who are under the assumption that they can sow “wild oats“, and still reap God‘s grace.  Sorry to be the bubble-burster,  but it has never worked that way, and since God hasn’t changed the rules, it never will  be. People like to think that in this modern, enlightened age, what God used to count as sin is now acceptable behavior.  After all, TV and entertainment are full of it, everyone does it, and God loves everyone, hey, some churches even preach it, so He surely doesn’t apply those archaic dictates anymore. Times may have changed, but God remains consistent.  I like knowing that what is coming up in “my garden“, pleases God.  Don’t be fooled by the “weeds” that our highly intelligent, contemporary culture sows; He may let the weeds grow, but a time is coming when they will be separated from the crop. Take a look at your own garden, keep it watered and nourished by God‘s word, and keep those weeds out!! “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.” Galatians 6:7.
