“If a man were to sow a field, he could not excuse his neglect by saying that it would be useless to sow unless God caused the seed to grow. He would not be justified in neglecting tillage because the secret energy of God alone can create a harvest. No one is hindered in the ordinary pursuits of life by the fact that unless the Lord build the house they labor in vain that build it.”
“Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord builds the city, the guard keeps watch in vain.”
“If this is my day of harvest, in what fields have I sowed the seed, and in what unremembered seasons?”
“It is like the seed put in the soil - the more one sows, the greater the harvest.”
“No wicked man could write such a book as this; and no good man would write it, unless it were true and he were commanded of God to do so. ”
“There is seed time and harvest, choose to sow at the right time so as to have a bountiful harvest.”
