(For Better or Verse: Each day in 2025 I will begin this Godsfield e-mail with a Bible verse that corresponds with the month (chapter 1-12) and day (verse 1-31) it is sent. This month features a lot of sixth chapters! Those with eyes and ears, let them see and hear.)

Hebrews 6:1 — Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God,

The Good News is not complicated. If you get it, you've got it. If you've got it, act like it, so that others will get it.

Learn the signs of good from evil, dear Christians.

Practice your observation skills,

study the word,

get some solid food in you,

become stronger in the Lord.

Chew on the meat of the teachings.

Be nourished by fellowship and worship.

Recite words of the Lord.

Sing to the Lord a new song.

Serve the Lord with Gladness.

(If you recognize that already as the Word, give yourself a "thank you Lord!")

If you've been planted in fertile soil, you might as well grow; otherwise, what's the point?

And let the fruit be, well, fruit, of the Spirit.

Hear this hymn by Handt Hansen's, let it nourish you.

Lord, let my heart be good soil.

Open to the seed of your Word.

Lord, let my heart be good soil,

where love can grow and peace is understood.

When my heart is hard, break the stone away,

When my heart is cold, warm it with the day,

When my heart is lost, lead me on your way.

Lord, let my heart,

Lord, let my heart,

Lord, let my heart be good soil.

Love ya,

Paul
