Where is Your Heart?
Scripture says;
Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks
All issues of life flow from the heart.
Now many people may say, I got a good heart. No!... you don't.
The Bible says your heart is wicked.
That's what the scripture says.
The world says "Oh, you know, I got a good heart."
No! you don’t
The Bible says your heart is wicked above all things.
Here Jesus gives us the first kind of ground that the seed falls on
He said it’s on the path.
And when it falls on the path, he said the birds of the air
they come and they snatch the word of God.
So here we see the first kind of response
to the preaching of the gospel, The Path.
Now what is the path?
Farmers would walk on paths in between their fields
and they would throw grain on both sides of their field
and from the constant traffic, the dirt would get packed down,
until the dirt was hardened. So hard
that if any seed landed on that path,
it would just sit on top of the path, exposed to the elements
it could not penetrate the hardened ground.
