The Purpose of the Parables

16 Oct

Luke 8:9-15 (Amplified Bible)

9And when His disciples asked Him the meaning of this parable,

10He said to them, To you it has been given to [come progressively to] know (to recognize and understand more strongly and clearly) the mysteries and secrets of the kingdom of God, but for others they are in parables, so that, [though] looking, they may not see; and hearing, they may not comprehend.

11Now the meaning of the parable is this: The seed is the Word of God.

12Those along the traveled road are the people who have heard; then the devil comes and carries away the message out of their hearts, that they may not believe (acknowledge Me as their Savior and devote themselves to Me) and be saved [here and hereafter].

13And those upon the rock [are the people] who, when they hear [the Word], receive and welcome it with joy; but these have no root. They believe for a while, and in time of trial and temptation fall away (withdraw and stand aloof).

14And as for what fell among the thorns, these are [the people] who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked and suffocated with the anxieties and cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not ripen (come to maturity and perfection).

15But as for that [seed] in the good soil, these are [the people] who, hearing the Word, hold it fast in a just (noble, virtuous) and worthy heart, and steadily bring forth fruit with patience.

Pass It On!

4 Oct

inspiration

In the event you have not come across these inspiring ads, LPH wanted to do our part and PASS IT ON! These infectious yet moving ads uplift the masses. And we at LPH…LOVE THEM.

Now, who’s behind them? We did a little digging and found out their created by, For A Better Life, a non-profit 501(c )(3) organization. Their sole objective is to promote positive values, using print and broadcast medias. (NICE.) They also listen to the stories of those who are making a difference in their communities to better understand the role that values play in their desire to do good and they…Pass It On.

These are a couple of ads captured over the weekend. To find out more click here:  http://www.values.com/
