Wheat and Tares, Dragnet (Part 2)
The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this message, Steve Gregg discusses the parables of the wheat and tares, and the dragnet. He emphasizes that it is not the church's job to separate the wheat from the tares or the good fish from the bad fish, as that is reserved for God's angels during the last judgment. While churches should practice discipline for blatant sin in their ranks, there may still be false converts who do not exhibit scandalous behavior. The focus should be on understanding the mysteries of the kingdom and sharing the gospel with those who haven't heard it.
