Planting The Seed

Sometimes we as Christians can get awfully discouraged trying to minister the lost or unchurched. We visit and ask people to come to know Christ or maybe just to attend a service and hear a the Word of God. We get all kinds of promises but very little action. It seems like the ones who went to church for a while and became members and for some reason quit are harder to get back than the ones who have never been a member of a church. Maybe  we as Christians are the ones failing, maybe we are not planting the seeds deep enough for them to grow.and mature?..Matthew 13:22-23 As for what was sown among the thornbushes, this is the person who hears the word, but the worries of life and the deceitful pleasures of wealth choke the word so that it can’t produce a crop.:23 But as for what was sown on good soil, this is the person who hears the word, understands it, and produces a crop that yields a hundred, sixty, or thirty times what was sown.”
