I have taken this blog over from a friend, who is having to cut back on his activities, and asked me to take this and hopefully do what I can to make it live up to its potential.
The name of this blog says it all: Gospel Sower. That comes from Jesus' parable of the sower, recorded in Matthew 13: 3-9, and explained by Jesus Himself in Matthew 13: 18-23. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is man's hope, in it God has proclaimed and explained our salvation.
My friend (who shall remain relatively anonymous - as shall I) published a dead-tree version of the Gospel Sower for several years, before the press of family and work and other activities, and some opposition that could not be overcome, caused him to cease writing and publication. It was based in the Black Hills of South Dakota; when he began the blog, he continued that association; that is the heritage of this blog, and that remains. But even as his printed version and the blog went far beyond the beautiful Black Hills, the Gospel is to be sown in a field that encompasses the entire world. Therefore, the byline is changing.
The Gospel Sower proclaims the whole Gospel to the whole World: please share this and the new postings with anyone who IS interested in the Gospel, and anyone you WISH was interested.
