Hey Everybody,

Happy New Year to you all!  I hope 2017 is positive and productive for you.  I hope everyone was safe through the storms last night.  We are looking forward to an enthusiastic class Wednesday night at 7.  I hope you can make it.

For today, here are a few thoughts.

If Dirt Could Talk

The Lord's "Parable of the Sower" (Matthew 13: 1ff, Mark 4: 1ff, Luke 8:1ff) has also been called the "Parable of the Soils."  These soils represent four types of human hearts.

THE WAYSIDE HEART

In its honest moments, this heart reveals an astonishing indifference to God and His will.  Satan snatches the seed of the Gospel away through pride, doubt, and indifference.  The wayside heart talks about everything but God and His Word.  Spiritually speaking, there is no room for God in this heart, and therefore, there will be no place in heaven for it.  

THE SHALLOW GROUND HEART

In this heart the Word springs up quickly, but the least bit of persecution or difficulty wilts it.  It believes for a while, and then falls away (Luke 8:13). There is no depth of spirituality in this heart.  This heart is fickle and shallow, capricious and unstable.  The Word in this heart lacks substance and roots, and so it withers and fades away.

THE BURDENED GROUND HEART

This heart will talk to you about all of its appointments, obligations, responsibilities, and duties.  This heart is preeminently concerned with cares and riches and the pleasures of this life.  Therefore, it brings no fruit to perfection (Luke 8:14).  This heart says, "Please get somebody else.  I am too busy.  I do not have time."

THE GOOD AND HONEST GROUND HEART

This heart speaks the most beautiful lesson in the world: "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all of these things shall be added unto you" (Matthew 6:33).  What a message!  What a declaration!  May our hearts ever speak this dedicated theme and bring fruits with patience (Luke 8:15).

Our hearts do talk.  Our message of life is manifest before God and man. May our hearts be the soil out of which grows great spiritual fruit to God's glory.  "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer" (Psalms 19:14).

Have a great week!
