			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Jesus' Symbolic Code was Complex but Not Secret" href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%208:14-15&amp;version=NIV" target="_blank">Luke 8:14-15</a><br />
Worry is a Thorny Way to Live</p>
<ul>
<li> Life&#8217;s Worries</li>
<li>Life&#8217;s Riches</li>
<li>Life&#8217;s Pleasures</li>
</ul>
<p>Hearing is NOT the Same as Believing</p>
<ul>
<li>Hear the Word</li>
<li>Retain the Word</li>
<li>Persevere in the Word</li>
</ul>
<p>The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life&#8217;s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature. But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.</p>
<p>Jesus Developed a Very Practical (and Literary) Metaphor in the Seeds and Soils Parable</p>
