This is a slow process, but it is starting

Americans love instant things. This isn't a criticism, it is an observation. The Church and it's truths should not be tried to be grasped overnight, and a shallow "sinners prayer" doesn't provide the depth and roots for mature faith in Christ.If anyhting we need a lot more evangelization within the Church. There are peopel taking communion with spurious ideas out there! (DUH!)

see Mark 4:3-34:

3 "Hear this! A sower went out to sow.
4 And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path, and the birds came and ate it up.
5 Other seed fell on rocky ground where it had little soil. It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep.
6 And when the sun rose, it was scorched and it withered for lack of roots.
7 Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it and it produced no grain.
8 And some seed fell on rich soil and produced fruit. It came up and grew and yielded thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold."
9 He added, "Whoever has ears to hear ought to hear."

Read the passage...
