But since they don\u2019t have deep roots, they believe for a while, then they fall away when they face temptation. 14 The seeds that fell among the thorns represent those who hear the message, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the cares and riches and pleasures of this life. And so they never grow into maturity. 15 And the seeds that fell on the good soil represent honest, good-hearted people who hear God\u2019s word, cling to it, and patiently produce a huge harvest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><b><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Parable of the Lamp<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">16 \u201cNo one lights a lamp and then covers it with a bowl or hides it under a bed.
