Fruitful or fruitless? Mark 4

Good morning all! God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!
   Things of this world come and go; exist and pass away.  1935Bruno Hauptmann went on trial in Flemington, N.J., on charges of kidnapping and murdering the infant son of Charles and Anne Lindbergh. (He was found guilty and executed.)
           On Jan 2, 1960 John F. Kennedy declared his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination.     
        1965The New York Jets signed University of Alabama quarterback Joe Namath for a reported $400,000. (an amazing amount of money in 1965).
    These are things of the world that happened, were a major topic of discussion at that time, but do we still remember and talk about them.  No!! Only the historians.
    However, many do remember Jim Bakker, the TV evangelist now 74, who fell from grace for having an affair.  Why?  Why is this remembered by many?
    This all relates to the parable of the sower of the seeds. Mark 4:¹⁴ The sower sows the word. ¹⁵ And these are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts.
    Some hear the word and it is as casting sounds on a deaf person. 
 Then you have the ones who receive the word, are excited, but then, being on stony ground, nothing takes root and the excitement, the rush all fades. ¹⁶ These likewise are the ones sown on stony ground who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with gladness; ¹⁷ and they have no root in themselves, and so endure only for a time. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution arises for the word’s sake, immediately they stumble. These are the hearers of the word, but product NO FRUITS!!
    Then you have the seeds that are sown on good, fertile ground that take root and become fruitful for the LORD.  ²⁰ But these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.”
   Now my question for you is this: Is your faith as the current news events--brought to light, discussed, then forgot?  OR, did your faith take root and you are bringing forth fruit for the glory of God?  Thirtyfold,  sixty, and maybe a hundred?  LOVE YOU ALL.
In Christ's Love and Grace
