Do you Have The SHALLOW Heart?

SHALLOW HEARTS: What happens when God's Word falls on the Shallow Heart? Jesus says that He finds it temporary, unsubstantial, and with deep seated rebellion.

As Jesus taught He was usually surrounded by crowds of shallow souls. They followed, listened, enjoyed His messages – but never could get around to doing anything with what they heard. They were fascinated, entertained, even deeply impressed with His message and ability. They were responsive in some ways, unlike the hardened hearts. Moved by His message at times, able to talk about the Lord – but never deeply changed. They are unstable, un-rooted, temporary and fragile. Their spiritual life has as much life as a cut flower. They look great until they wither.

What would a shallow soil person look like today? Do we have any clear example to help us understand this person? Jesus illustrates the shallow heart in chapter 10.17-22.

Open there with me to Mark 10 to see the parable of Mark 4 illustrated. In Mark 10 Jesus lets us see what goes on in the heart of the shallow convert. And we at last see the second soil illustrated!
