Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jim Crow laws pervaded the south, reaching from the famous "separate yet equal" facilities to voting discrimination to the seats on buses. Agriculture, a key industry for those southern blacks trying to forge an independent existence, was not immune to the touch of racism, prejudice, and inequality. In Reaping a Greater Harvest, Debra Reid deftly spotlights the hierarchies of race, class, and gender within the extension service. Black farmers were excluded from cooperative demonstration work in Texas until the Smith-Lever Agricultural Extension act in 1914. However, the resulting Negro Division included a complicated bureaucracy of African American agents who reported to white officials, were supervised by black administrators, and served black farmers. The now-measurable successes of these African American farmers exacerbated racial tensions and led to pressure on agents to maintain the status quo. The bureau that was meant to ensure equality instead became another tool for systematic discrimination and maintenance of the white-dominated southern landscape. Historians of race, gender, and class have joined agricultural historians in roundly praising Reid's work.

Download or read book Sowing and Reaping Whatever a man sows that shall he also reap Galatians 6 7 written by Dwight L. Moody and published by Aneko Press. This book was released on 2019-08-01 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do not deceive yourselves; God is not mocked: for whatever a man sows that shall he also reap. For he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption, but he that sows in the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap eternal life. (Galatians 6:7-8) We can't get away from the principle of reaping what we sow. If we sow good seed, we anticipate a great harvest. But if we sow weeds, we'll harvest no more than we sowed. The same is true spiritually and practically. If we want a reward in heaven, we must live for Christ. On the other hand, if we lie, cheat, swear, steal, get drunk, use drugs, or otherwise fulfill the lusts of the flesh, the reality is we'll pay the consequences both now and in eternity. No matter how much society tries to convince us otherwise, this law has proven to be true without fail. This is the bright truth held before us in this little book – if we sow good seed, we will reap a great harvest. While sowing and caring for the seed sown isn't without work, the promise of a great harvest is what keeps us going and what brings joy to our labors. Be assured that it is not in vain to spend much time pruning, weeding, and carefully watching over the garden of your heart and the hearts of those you love.

Book excerpt: BREAKTHROUGH TO REAP A HARVESTPraise the Mighty, Wonderful, Matchless Name of Jesus! Blessed be God, who has given us the victory and caused the excitement of the knowledge of Him to be filled in every place.It is with great rejoicing and anticipation that I write to you; to share with you what the Lord has spoken and what He is doing. God sends His Word to heal us and to deliver us. His Word will not return unto Him void, but will accomplish the very purpose for which it was sent.Just recently, in prayer, God spoke to my heart three words: they were breakthrough, reap and harvest. By themselves they're powerful words, for they speak of victory, provision and souls. Taken together, they reveal not only a powerful statement, but an awesome strategy. Look at the statement."Breakthrough to reap a harvest."This statement reveals a problem and a solution at the same time. The problem is, something is hindering our reaping. The solution is, we must breakthrough it, in order to reap.The Lord's desire is that we reap. It is the time to reap. We have sown and now we must reap. He further revealed our purpose for reaping: to reap the harvest. God wants us to breakthrough that we might reap and reap until we glean the harvest.

Download or read book American Harvest written by Marie Mutsuki Mockett and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An epic story of the American wheat harvest, the politics of food, and the culture of the Great Plains For over one hundred years, the Mockett family has owned a seven-thousand-acre wheat farm in the panhandle of Nebraska, where Marie Mutsuki Mockett’s father was raised. Mockett, who grew up in bohemian Carmel, California, with her father and her Japanese mother, knew little about farming when she inherited this land. Her father had all but forsworn it. In American Harvest, Mockett accompanies a group of evangelical Christian wheat harvesters through the heartland at the invitation of Eric Wolgemuth, the conservative farmer who has cut her family’s fields for decades. As Mockett follows Wolgemuth’s crew on the trail of ripening wheat from Texas to Idaho, they contemplate what Wolgemuth refers to as “the divide,” inadvertently peeling back layers of the American story to expose its contradictions and unhealed wounds. She joins the crew in the fields, attends church, and struggles to adapt to the rhythms of rural life, all the while continually reminded of her own status as a person who signals “not white,” but who people she encounters can’t quite categorize. American Harvest is an extraordinary evocation of the land and a thoughtful exploration of ingrained beliefs, from evangelical skepticism of evolution to cosmopolitan assumptions about food production and farming. With exquisite lyricism and humanity, this astonishing book attempts to reconcile competing versions of our national story.

Download or read book Harvest Time written by Frank Gaston and published by . This book was released on 2009-10 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of Genesis invites us to take a peek into the very astounding process of creation. God planted the seed of existence in order to reap a harvest that He named water, sky, earth, and more. Unhesitatingly, God used three little words: "Let there be . . ." and, just like that, it was! No magician or witch has the ability to produce such results, only God. In Genesis 1:26, God said "Let Us make human beings in our image and likeness, and let them rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the tame animals, over all the earth, and over all the small crawling animals." Possessions are essentially for use on the Earth; there is no genuine comfort within them. The Holy Spirit was sent to comfort God's people, in every area of their lives, especially during this historic recession. However, life does not exist in the abundance of things you possess, but the Jesus that is in you. Real life with regard to seedtime and harvest can manifest itself with the influence of Christ on a believer's spirit, soul, and body. Every person has been given a special gift or talent by God with the potential to bring him wealth. We've all got to remember that God will take care of us in the midst of what is going on in the world today. We may be in a recession, but participating in it is our decision. God always has an abundant supply of whatever you need. Pray to Him, talk to Him, and spend time with Him. Then sit back, relax, and expect Him to do what He has promised in His Word. Normally, "church folks" look at seedtime as always being about money or finance. But, just like God did, we have the ability to plant seeds of wisdom, good deeds, love and kindness toward one another. All these seeds will be returned back to us in a harvest of new members in the Body of Christ. Genesis 1:27-28 explains God's creation of man and woman, and His exhortation that they be fruitful and fill the earth. Bishop Gaston clarifies the sowing and reaping process, applying its tenets to our lives today and bringing it home to our personal struggles in these hard times. He provides us with organized thinking about the many levels of meaning in the terms seedtime and harvest, leading us step by step from problem to solution. Its readability will lead you to enjoy Harvest Time: Reaping a Bountiful Life, but your "take away" will be its individualized outlines for each aspect of sowing and reaping. Follow the steps enumerated by Bishop Gaston, and reap your bountiful life in God! Brenda Husband, Evangelist City of Refuge, Church of God in Christ Oakland, California
