The Parable of the Sower is one of the most important parables Jesus gave about the kingdom of God because it answered the question, "Why doesn't the Word — the logos — have the effect on people we might hope for?" It moves us to ask again why God doesn't just change people.
In this rediscovered manuscript, beloved Christian philosopher Dallas Willard shows how the Parable of the Sower teaches us to cultivate a "hearing kind of life." |

Christmas can be a very painful time of year for a prisoner's child. They might see other families celebrating together and miss their mom or dad even more than usual. They might even wonder if their mom or dad in prison still thinks about them. This is why we are excited to share Prison Fellowship Angel Tree with you. Angel Tree exists to reconnect families, deliver Christmas gifts, and share the Good News of the Savior's birth with families shattered by crime. As we approach the holiday season, would you consider giving to bless a prisoner's child with an Angel Tree Christmas? |

October 14 — A voice from the heavens: Nonagenarians from Providence Baptist Church in Texas recently got special birthday calls — from space. Astronaut Barry Wilmore is an elder at Pasadena who's stuck on the International Space Station until February, so he's making the most of it. Coms go both ways: the church had planned to shutter its livestream after COVID, but decided to keep it going for its homebound elderly — and now, starbound elders. (Christianity Today) |
| October 15— Amid ongoing missile threats, Israel's only Messianic Jewish moshav is providing shelter and support for conflict zone evacuees. Founded by Finnish Christians in 1971, Yad HaShmona now numbers some 350 members. Within a week of the October 7 attack, they had taken in 200 evacuees. They continue to lend aid and prayers for peace — including (citing Rom. 12:20) for Palestinian civilians. (Christianity Today) |
| October 15 — In fiscal year 2024, the U.S. resettled more Christian refugees fleeing persecution than any year since 2016, according to a report by Open Doors and World Relief.
