How God Looks at Agriculture - Dale L Schurter - October 1967

Dale L Schurter

What is wrong with agriculture? Why does seemingly everyone look down on the farmer? With God, agriculture is a favored occupation. What has put the farmer where he is in society? What does it all mean to you and your eternity? IN THE BEGINNING God created the world geared to an agricultural society. "And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.... Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:... Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so" (Gen. 1:11, 14, 24). - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
