Yesterday Pastor Gord preached another great sermon on the parables of Matthew 13. This time he preached about the mustard seed and he showed us how this parable is often misinterpreted. The significant growth of the mustard plant was unnatural and the birds came and lodged in the tree. Too often we are undiscerning and we do not realize that the birds have come to destroy. When Satan found out that he could not destroy the church from the outside by persecution he then changed his tactics and joined the church.
Today I spent the afternoon with a friend from the Anglican church. He was telling me how the leadership has shied away from the Scriptures as their guide and told the individual bishops to let their consciences be their guide. Our conscience needs to be cleansed by the Word. He then said, "He who marries the spirit of the age will soon find themselves widowed." The birds have come to nest in many of the North American mainline churches and no one notices.
