What in the World Does God Think He’s Doing?

If the farmer in this parable is supposed to be God — and it is! — then this God goes against nearly every economic principle we hold dear. This farmer-God throws seed around like Paris Hilton throws money around. And it’s not just carelessness — it’s bad marketing. He broadcasts seed in every direction with no regard for where it lands, most of it with almost no chance of taking root. The ROI on this operation is next to nothing.

What in the world does God think he’s doing?

Matthew 13:1-9
