In the name of feeding the masses (BTW: Hunger is a more of a distribution problem than a supply problem with over 50% of the food supply currently being thrown away), Monsanto has corrupted the seeds of the most basic food staples, such that it's nearly impossible to find non-GMO peanuts, corn, soy, wheat, etc. Our bodies were not designed to process GMO foods, so while food should nourish and heal us, GMO foods are causing sickness and even death, especially as they grow in degree of saturation across the food supply.
Similarly, our hearts and souls can ONLY be nourished, purified, and completely healed by the true word of God. Man-made distortions of God's truth will only make us spiritually ill. This on-point post by John MacArthur provides an excellent analysis of this compromised evangelism in light of the Scriptures, specifically in reference to the Parable of the Sower and the Seed.
The Parable of the Sower and Bad Evangelism

Key quotes from the post by John MacArthur that got an amen from me include:
- "But you cannot manufacture converts by changing the message or stylizing the messenger"
- "The preacher who thinks designer jeans will make his message more palatable is akin to a farmer investing in a designer seed bag so that the soil will be more receptive to his seeds."
- "One of the primary refrains about evangelism today is that the church needs to update the methods without altering the message. But if we’re not faithfully preaching the truth about man’s sinfulness, God’s grace and mercy, the sinner’s need for repentance and faith, and the completed work of Christ, we’re not protecting and preserving the gospel message."
