Applying the Parable of the Sower to Present Circumstances

I long to see this change, but I see very few Christians who are really concerned about the state of things within the church, within the United States and throughout the whole earth. I see even fewer that know what to do.

Is there something to learn from the Parable of the Sower? Has the devil stolen the truth of Jesus and Him crucified and/or the truth of the gospel of the kingdom from Christians (Luke 8:12)? Are the temptations of the devil causing Christians to fall away from obedience to the word of God (Luke 8:13)? Are Christians choked with cares, riches and pleasures of life that prevent them from bringing any fruit to maturity (Luke 8: 14)?

Thank God for the faithful remnant who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear much fruit with patience (Luke 8:15).

Could it be true that God does nothing except in response to the prayers of His disciples? If it is, you that want to be part of the faithful remnant have a huge responsibility. You must get in the gap and make prayers and intercessions not only for the world but for your fellow Christians.
