Scripture: James 1:22, Mark 4

A sower spread some seed and some of it fell upon the wayside. Once it had been placed the birds came and ate it. Some seeds landed into the stony ground and it couldn’t take a good root and it quickly died out. Other seeds fell in the weeds and it was choked out. Then some seeds fell amongst good, fertile ground. It began to grow and take root and flourished. 

Christians today receive the word and some fall amongst the wayside, stony ground, and thorns. When one looks into a mirror they are judgmental yet once away from it they forget the judgment of themselves. They are not reminded. A Christian doesn’t forget.

How many have gone into the world and said, we had a good service last night. When the person asks what the pastor preached on we couldn’t remember. The preacher works hard and studies the message yet we come into the church with our ground unworked and not ready to receive the seed of God. We are not to care about the things of this world and allow things to get to us. Yet we allow them to choke us out of a blessing from God. 

God knows everything including how many hairs are on (or off) your head. He knows what you’re doing and what you not doing.

Get ready for church. Get prayed up. Get repented up.
