Organization is a good thing. I think God is an organizer and loves books, the whole revelation to John was focused on the opening of a book.

I have been sowing seed for Christ for the past seven years. As an evangelist, meeting different people each day and planting the Word of God in their hearts by ministering unto them one never knows if the seed grows. But one must be steadfast in faith that God giveth the increase. Because it is God who ensureth that the seeds grow. Some seeds will fall among thorns, some on rocky soil, some on good soil that bring forth 100, 60, and 30 folds.

This is a bit silly, but I’m certainly not one to rally against the silly. I live in Tanzania and have 9 months’ of beard and hair growth. [My wife is pregnant -- our first should arrive any day now -- and I thought it'd be great to grow my beard along with her tummy. And we've got the progress pictures to show it...]

Anyway, you would not believe the opportunities I have to plant seeds every day walking around the market in our small town. Nearly every individual beckons me over to tell me I look like Jesus or John the Baptist. I usually joke with them a bit, asking how they know it’s not those guys who look like me, before I start a conversation about how I may look like Jesus, but I’m really only his follower. They always then ask me which religion / denomination I am — and I tell them that I really prefer to just follow Christ, reading the Bible and being obedient to it. They ask why, and I’m able to share some good news with any individual who says I look like Jesus. I never would have thought a beard would do that. Now I’m debating on whether or not to shave it….

I’m not only able to plant seeds, but I’m having a blast doing it!

hi. i happened to wander into your blog from networkedblogs on facebook. i just had to comment since your very first post struck a familiar chord in me.. libraries and the dewey decimal system. i’m in the third year of my bachelor’s degree in library science, yet i know i do not read much. i am still learning to love books, so i cannot relate to the “knowledge puffs up” lesson that God has been teaching you. but i am warned in advance if the time comes that i read too much and stock up too much information in my head and no longer in my heart. thanks for posting this!

Can I come borrow some books before going back to ACU. I’m running out of books to read. I need some new good ones. You have any suggestions?

I know that seeds were planted in myself when I was younger but I never let them grow. I thought that I could do better on my own and I was wrong. I truely thank my friends, that pointed me in the right direction (Vinelife) and I see the seeds growing more and more daily. I see the seeds growing in my children and my wonderful spouse.

People are listening even if they act like they are not. I learned that on Dec 15, 2006. My cousin Micah was killed, he was 16yrs old and after we left the hospital we went to my Aunt and Uncles house. All of his friends showed up and my father, my uncle and Micah’s twin brother Alex and I sat on the front porch and can hear the friends talking about how Micah brought Christ into their lives. Funny thing is, we didn’t realize how much Christ meant to him and that he was sharing Christ’s love with his friends. My aunt and uncle truely know that Micah is with God, and that has helped us all deal with his passing. Micah got into a lot of trouble and pushed people away, but he didn’t push Christ away. I saw tons and tons of seeds growing and being planted that night, more than ever in my life…

Thank you Les for helping my seed grow and teaching me more about Christ..

9 months. The time that it takes to grow a child in the womb. From a single diploid cell, with undefined characteristics, to a perfect creation from God, a child is born. Even after birth, still learning, still yearning to know the world it lives in. And the Truth.
9 months since I gave it all to Him. The battles were over. I was done. I wanted peace and peace is what I received. Not with earth shattering revelations but with quiet contentment inside. THIS was the moment of conception of ME. God and Jesus, together, are making me into a new person. Growing in Christ, yearning to learn His ways and living in Truth.

Les, you helped plant that seed. I believe He led us to you. That one seed is producing five fruits and I’m proud to say that we’re just a bunch of fruits! lol

But to answer your question- I share Christ daily. Whether it be the music I play in my car or the way I’ve noticably changed in the last 9 months that my friends have seen. They say I am much happier now and ask how I have changed. I tell them because I’m learning about God and Jesus. I am content now, no more confusion. I let it all go and let Him in. I just planted 4 more seeds

Comment on Derek Webb’s – A Savior On Capitol Hill Video by Les McDaniel

Derek is saying that he is tired of politicians making promises and in a sense it is a prayer for Christ to come to Capitol Hill because “there’s never been a Savior on Capitol Hill.” His point is that all of our politicians, nationalism and/or democracy are not our saviors but that you won’t find one if that is where you are looking. Hope that helps.
