Final Charge to Remember and Resist Twists

In all of Scripture, there are only a handful of times when God explicitly tells us to "remember" something. Each time, it's attached to something vital—communion, Christ's resurrection, where we've fallen. But there's one verse where God commands us to remember a principle that much of the church seems to have forgotten entirely. In this episode, Bob and Linda explore 2 Corinthians 9:6: "Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop, but the one who plants generously will get a generous crop." Key Topics Discussed: Why This Verse Matters

• How God uses the word "remember" throughout Scripture for critical truths
• The context of 2 Corinthians 8-9 and its focus on generous giving
• Why this principle of sowing and reaping has been pushed aside by many believers

The Enemy's Strategy

• How biblical principles get twisted and weaponized
• The 1980s prosperity gospel backlash and its lasting impact
• Two ditches to avoid: manipulation on one side, scarcity mindset on the other

Getting Your Heart Right

• The crucial difference between giving to people versus giving to the Lord
• How to avoid being manipulated while still embracing biblical generosity
• Why you can love your church and still have questions

The Multiplication Principle

• From Genesis to today: God's design for abundance
• The apple seed illustration that proves God's multiplication DNA
• How one butterfly's wings can literally change the world
• Why quiet faithfulness often shapes culture more than loud voices

What Happens When We Forget

• Generosity becomes optional instead of formative
• Fear replaces faith
• We settle for what we can maintain in our own strength
• Our expectations of God begin to shrink

Quotable Moments: "God doesn't command that we remember something that is trivial." "When you give to the Lord, that's when you can see the harvest. When you are giving to a person, they can't give you a harvest." "It's easy to be a voice... but there are so many people quietly shaping the culture of their nation." "The butterfly can flap its wings here in Tennessee and literally over in Australia there can be a hurricane—that is how God created things." Challenge: Don't let the enemy's twisting of Scripture cause you to forget what God told you to remember. Sowing and reaping isn't just about farming or fundraising—it's about how God designed His entire creation to multiply. Every smile at the coffee shop, every dollar given in faith, every child raised in love has exponential Kingdom impact. The question isn't whether God's multiplication principle is real. The question is: are you partnering with it or have you forgotten it entirely?
