It is a Saturday, and it is eleven o’clock in the morning. I am so pleased you can be with me today … Continue reading My Cathedral – Walk With Ken Boyle XLI

Comment from Ken: I always look forward to walking with you. Your comments all always welcome. Have a wonderful week. Scripture: Matthew 4: 7 – 117Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’” 8Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.” 10Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’” 11Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.Good morning.

Take a Walk in the Country – Walk With Ken Boyle XXXVI
Comment From Ken: This is a long scripture reading but it clearly shows Jesus’ faith, love, and understanding of nature and farming. Scripture Matthew 13: 1-9; 18-231On the same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea. 2And great multitudes were gathered together to Him, so that He got into a boat and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. 3Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: “Behold, a sower went out to sow. 4And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them. 5Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth. 6But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away. 7And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them. 8But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 9He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” 18“Therefore hear the parable of the sower: 19When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside. 20But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; 21yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles. 22Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. 23But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.” It’s a very warm day for a … Continue reading Take a Walk in the Country – Walk With Ken Boyle XXXVI
