The F.O.G
[13] The rocky soil represents superficial faith – people who receive the message joyfully but lack spiritual depth. When trials come, their faith withers like plants without roots.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
‘And those upon the rock: They who, when they may hear, with joy do receive the word, and these have no root, who for a time believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
