Sow the Word Sunday :

This is a children's song (to the tune of row, row, row your boat):

Sow, sow, sow the Word,
Precious seeds of Faith;
Some that fall along the path,
Are quickly snatched away.
 

Sow, sow, sow the Word,
Precious seeds of Truth;
Some that fall on rocky soil,
Won't last the whole day through.

Sow, sow, sow the Word,
Precious seeds of Hope;
Some that fall among the thorns,
Grow weak from fear and woe.

Sow, sow, sow the Word,
Precious seeds of Life;
Some that fall into good soil,
Will live a life for Christ.


Now, for the real post:

Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.  ~James 3:18


The opposite of disorder is not a morally neutral order but a morally significant peace.   James wants peace for the church because peace is the context in which righteousness can flourish.
