TOPIC: The Parable of The Sower: The Stony Ground
Read
Matthew 13:5-6
- Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
-
And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
Matthew 13:20-21
- But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
-
Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
Memorise
Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Colossians 2:7

The second category of hearersin the parable of the sower is the stony-hearted. Those in this category truly hear the word of God but it does not transform their lives in any way because they are superficial Christians who can be easily swayed by any wind of doctrine. Also, they are babies who turn back from following God when faced with a little discomfort and are quick to deny their faith when persecuted.
The word therefore withers in their heart easily; sometimes, it dies completely because their heart is not a fertile ground.The stony-hearted Christian does not bear any fruit. He/she can be in the Church for many years and remain a member, never growing in faith or becoming a worker in Gods vineyard. In fact, at any slight push, he/she would leave the Church.

They also never win souls. They are not even sure of what they believe in, so they remain stagnant in the faith. If you belong to this category, God is ready to make you rooted in Him if only you are willing.

Father, I refuse to be stagnant; please make me grow in the knowledge of You.
