Take heed how you hear
Just as the example of the soils, as God brings you truth you must be ready to receive
What keeps people from receiving the truth
Spiritual hardness, hard hearts so that satan can remove what you have heard (15)
Persecution, no roots so that the world can sway you back to themselves (16-17)
Cares of this world, snagged by lusts so that Christ does not seem attractive
More given, all taken away
God rewards with greater understanding those who follow his words
God will punish those who stumble in the simple truths he gives
Take heed what ye hear!
God is a God who speaks, are you listening?
he has more that he wants to reveal to you, are you ready to receive?
