From the Pulpit...

Pastor Postiff taught what the wheat and tares parable means and how it relates to the church today. The Devil wants to stop good spiritual growth before it starts, and certainly before it can produce fruit. But the Devil is not content to only stop good seed from growing. He also wants his own plants to grow. He wants to choke out the good growth with his own bad growth. He wants to control everything; to overrun all good with evil. It is this kind of situation that the Lord pictures for us in the second major parable, that of the wheat and tares.
