KJV Mark 4:26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
I worked out a system to review books on Amazon and to get them accepted. I repost the reviews on two blogs and many Facebook pages because we have an unusual situation. Several households are engaged in proclaiming the Word in various ways. I link them with many different methods, because Search Engine Optimization builds visibility on the Net through search engines and the habit of going to favorite sites.
Alec Satin constantly publishes many books as free PDFs. They are ideal for searching and quoting, and they are portable:
Norma Boeckler patiently posts her Christian artwork on Facebook and produces even more. We have many new and old graphics on The Bethany Lutheran Hymn Blog (almost 11,000 views.
Martin Chemnitz Friends blog (almost 14,000 views) is used to link readers to these faithful efforts. If someone or some production has been overlooked, please contact me.
Yesterday I said to Mrs. Ichabod, "Think how many dishonest people and unpleasant events it took to have a dream come true - and then some. We get to work with wonderful people. I get to write, teach, and edit with a lot of freedom."
[GJ - A reader wrote to say how glad he was that things worked out. If I edited for a synodical operation, the apostate leaders would dictate the content. If I wrote what the Scriptures teach, about the efficacy of the Word in the Means of Grace, the apostate editors would not print it. Oh, they did once with Liberalism: Its Cause and Cure. The day I got my five (5) free copies in the mail, the WELS hitmen organized the council members to get rid of me, which did not work that time. The editors who pushed the book through - with big delays - were forced out of NPH. The book sold like crazy and went into three editions. NPH gave me the rights, so it is available as a free PDF and a printed book. WELS is fine with adulterous divorced ("Scriptural divorce") and bi-sexual pastors, but the Means of Grace?]
KJV Ephesians 3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
κατα την δυναμιν (GJ - the power, dynomite, literally, the Spirit in the Word) την ενεργουμενην (GJ - energy, literally - works in us effectively) εν ημιν
21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
