“Listen then to what the parable of the sower means:
When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, (has no fear of God) the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path.
The one who received the seed that fell on rocky and at ones receives it with joy. But since he has no root, (spiritual blessings) he lasts only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away.
The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns (worldly desires) is the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful.
But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil (walks in the Spirit) is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty time what was sown. Matthew 13:18-23. Amen.
