The Sower

Luke 8:1-15

We are spending more than a year walking through Luke’s Gospel, trying to allow it to have the effect it was intended to have, which is in Luke 1:4 “that you may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught.” This story of Jesus builds our faith and addresses our doubts.

And in today’s passage, we get something of a vaccine for one source of doubt, the deconversion of many of our friends and former Christian leaders. We see so many who seemed like they were vibrant Christians, who give up on the faith altogether and often publicly announce (in our day when everything is publicly announced) that they no longer believe.
