Catcheth Away that which was Sown

Thinking about Matt 13.19 this morning where Christ warns his disciples that: When anyone heareth the words of the kingdom and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. It is a sobering warning. The goal of Satan is, if someone receives the word of God, to catch it away so that it doesn't take root and grow. The goal for us is to ensure that when people hear the words of the kingdom, they understand them so that Satan cannot catch away what was sown.
