What Chokes Out "The Word"

• Mark 4:19 (ASV)

---

1. Cares of the world
-Reflection: How often do I dwell on the worries of my own life? How often do I just ponder over the cares for "temporal things" such as business, visions, pursuits, etc...?

2. Deceitfulness of Riches
-Reflection: How many value/weight do I place on earthly wealth? How about when compared to things of eternal value? The measuring stick would be where I spend my time.

3. Lust of the Flesh
-Reflection: Are my desires lining up with the Word of God? How about my thought life? I need to learn more of not trying to "do anything" to "earn heaven" but rather to live pure for the sake of a love for Him.
