Making Plain the Truths of the Gospel
Tilling and Planting exists to guide people to a greater understanding of the truths of the Bible by presenting them using simple language.
1 Peter 3:15 (NIV), “But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.”

If you’ve ever struggled with understanding the truths found in the Bible you’ve come to the right place.
