Read MoreA lamp is meant to shine. You would never light it and hide it under a blanket or push it under a bed.

Read MoreIn Luke 8:1–15, Jesus answers this through the Parable of the Sower. The lesson? Good roots produce great fruit, but only if the soil—the condition of our hearts—is ready. The seed is always the same: God’s Word. The difference lies in how we receive it.
