This powerful sermon draws from Hosea 10:12 to confront the spiritual danger of fallow ground—hearts left untouched, unfruitful, and unyielded to God. Through the lens of the 1983 U.S. government's Payment-in-Kind (PIK) farming program, which paid farmers not to plant crops, the message challenges believers who have settled into spiritual idleness, exchanging God's call for comfort. Like Israel in Hosea's day, many Christians have become inactive, not because they can't be fruitful, but because they've chosen ease over engagement. Using the historical Korean Revival and biblical principles of confession, humility, and obedience, this sermon calls the church to break up the hardened soil of their hearts, seek the Lord, and return to spiritual productivity. Revival isn't found in noise—it begins in the heart.
