Passage: Luke 8:4-8* (Today's focus is verse 5)

4. When a large crowd was coming together, and those from the various cities were journeying to Him, He spoke by way of a parable:

5. "The sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell beside the road, and it was trampled under foot and the birds of the air ate it up.

6. "Other seed fell on rocky soil, and as soon as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.

7. "Other seed fell among the thorns; and the thorns grew up with it and choked it out.

8. "Other seed fell into the good soil, and grew up, and produced a crop a hundred times as great." As He said these things, He would call out, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

Questions

1. Are you like "hard packed" soil where nothing penetrates the surface?

 

2. Why did you browse to this site?

 

Practical help

Living life in "entertainment mode" sounds fun. Nothing has to be over contemplated. Nothing has to be over analyzed. You don't have to deal with the "how's" and "why's", just the "ooo's" and "aaah's".

Porn peddlers love people who keep their habit on the surface because they know "surface people" will be back for more. Are you tired of going back for more?

If you're here reading this, then there's a crack in your surface — and this is good! All of a sudden you feel trampled by the porn peddler's foot.

Today is a good day because the conviction that moved you to look for help is a sure indication that your surface is being softened by the Holy Spirit — and He wants you to trust Jesus for real help! (Click here, if you want to know more.)
