I was reading the parable of the sower in Luke today. When Jesus talks about the seed that falls among thorns, he says in his explanation of the parable that three things choke out what begins to grow; cares, riches and pleasures.
Brennan Manning wrote a book entitled The Importance of Being Foolish in which he says that three basic idols prevent us from moving closer to Christ-likeness; security, power and pleasure. Does anyone else see the connection between these two?
