 You see, the worries of life are understandable worries. It's not that there's something bad or wrong about the worry itself or that which produces worry. It's our response to the issue. And what Jesus says is, there is a certain kind of soil that although the response to the word is apparently fruitful, it proves unfruitful. It ends up being choked. And if it isn't choked by the worries of this life, it may be choked by the deceitfulness of wealth.
