Seeds
From the
Sower
By Michael A. Guido
An old lady attended an
exhibition of modern art.
She gazed upon an abstract
painting that puzzled her.
Finally, she stopped an
artist and asked, “What’s
that supposed to represent?”
“That’s supposed
to be a mother and
child,” he answered.
“Well,” snapped the
old lady, “why isn’t it?”
You’re supposed to be a
Christian. Why aren’t you?
The Living Bible says,
“Check up on yourselves.
Are you really Christians? Do
you pass the test? Do you feel
Christ’s presence and power
more and more within you?
Or are you just pretending
to be Christians when
actually you aren’t at all?”
