The Seed That Fell Among Thorns

Weeds may be pesky for petunias but it’s a killer when it comes to crops. In the "Parable of the Sower," Jesus compares the cares of the this world, and the deceitfulness of wealth, to weeds when it comes to hearing the Gospel and growing in faith. He describes how, if we're not careful, worship and hearing God's Word can lose their priority and struggle to find room in our busy lives.
