<TITLE>26. Par -</TITLE>L-42-1 It takes a certain vitamin in the soil to produce the grain. It's got to be in the right kind of soil. We're getting to it in just a little bit. See? Got to have the right kind of soil or it won't grow the grain. You take certain grounds; it won't grow this and will grow something else. Sandy ground and different vitamin and so forth grows certain thing. If it don't, why, it ain't got it and just won't grow it; that's all.
Now, weeds will grow pretty near anywhere, any kind of ground. Is that right? Old denominational weeds will just grow anywhere, But I'm telling you, brother, if you want to produce the fruits of Life, she has to come out of the Word. That's right, right. Sure! All right.
I hope I ain't taking you all too long this morning. See? Now, don't... See? All right.

L-42-4 No wonder they can't believe; they have nothing to live in. Jesus spoke of them in Matthew the 13th chapter and the 1st verse. Let's just turn over here and see how Jesus said about it, these things that we're talking of. Matthew the 13th chapter and in the 1st verse:
The same day Jesus went out of the house, and set by the sea side.
And great multitudes were gathered... unto him, so that he went into a ship, and set down; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
And he spake... unto them things in... spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow seed;
And when he sowed, some seed fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:
Some fell on stony grounds, and when they had not much earth: and forth-with they spring up, because they had no depths of earth:
And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and came--and because they had no root, they withered away.
... some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them out:
... others fell in good ground, and brought forth some--brought forth fruit, some a hundredfold,... sixty, and thirtyfold.
Who has ears to hear, let him hear. (Not wisdom, ears. See? All right, hearing.)

L-43-1 All right. Notice, He said some went forth. When the seed went forth, preached the Word, some fell by the wayside, just like water on a duck's back--runs right off. Some fell upon rocky ground, stony. It had just a little dust that blowed up there. And it sprung up, but it didn't have no roots, no place to put its roots. (Now, I'm going to make illustrations here, and I hope I don't hurt no feelings. See?)
That was the Catholic church. They said they was built on a rock. I'll agree with them; I sure will agree with them. That's right. That's right. No earth under it at all, no earth on it to grow from. Why? They couldn't produce a, they couldn't produce a Bible vitamin, 'cause they don't even believe in It. They... Doctrine is dogmas (that's right), Roman dogma, no Word in it at all. See?

L-43-3 Fell upon rocks: that was a super-wisdom. Oh, brother, I'm telling you. They had it the super way. They presented it in a way of psychology, and great big buildings, and fine dressed, looked like holy gods of priests, and everything else. How many heard that testimony of that little nun that just got out? You got it here? I want that played some Wednesday night here at church, and every person here should have the testimony.
