Growing a Healthy Church


God's Garden
In growing a healthy, fruit-bearing church, try this plan:

Plant three rows of squash:
*Squash gossip.
*Squash criticism.
*Squash indifference.

Plant seven rows of peas:
*Prayer
*Promptness
*Perseverance
*Preparedness
*Purity
*Patience

Plant seven heads of lettuce:
*Let us be unselfish and loyal.
*Let us be faithful to duty.
*Let us search the Scriptures.
*Let us not be weary in well-doing.
*Let us be truthful.
*Let us love one another.


~As quoted in The Power of a Woman's Words by Sharon Jaynes
