Drawing from Ecclesiastes 4 and Isaiah 6, Pastor Bill argues that government — like pleasure and work — is a genuine gift from God, but it becomes a destructive idol when we expect it to satisfy the deep longing for eternity that only Jesus can meet. Laws can restrain evil, but only the gospel regenerates hearts. Christians are called to engage politically as good citizens while refusing to let politics replace the mission of making disciples, because it is the living water of Christ — not the salt water of political solutions — that truly transforms people from the inside out.
Pastor Scott Rodgers · Jun 16, 2019
In the Parable of the Sower, Jesus teaches that the posture and openness of our hearts determines the depth of God's work in our lives. Three rivals — apathy, convenience, and distraction — resist what God wants to do in us. But to those who are genuinely hungry, who lean in, ask questions, and feed themselves spiritually, God promises to reveal Himself. The key to experiencing God more fully is not a checklist of behaviors but a growing, active hunger for Him.
