Showing results for "seed" in Christianity

New Seeds of Contemplation is one of Thomas Merton's most widely known and best-loved books.

This book has one goal in mind, to try and bring greater understanding between two dedicated groups of Christians.

So how does lasting change take place? A worm doesn't struggle to become a butterfly in the cocoon. A seed doesn't strive to become a tree and produce fruit. They simply do what they were designed to do by god and the change takes place, effortlessly.

"How did you go bankrupt?" Ernest Hemingway wrote in The Sun Also Rises. The answer? "Two ways: gradually then suddenly."

Listeners will identify the consistent, faithful steps they need to be taking now to set the stage for future breakthroughs. Drawing from biblical wisdom, historical examples, and his nearly thirty years of leadership experience, Batterson shows how success happens at the speed of a seed rather than the speed of light.

Whiteness is a way of being in the world characterized by ownership intent on being separated from others. The “whiteness gospel” divides humanity and metastasizes itself into self-sustaining groups whose most basic claim is some characteristic that values superiority over belonging.
