I live in a very fertile area of the country. In a few weeks the farmers will be out preparing the soil for planting. What would happen if the soil was prepared but nothing was planted? Surely something would grow. However, I am sure it would not be what the farmer wanted.
Today as we worked through 2 Peter 2:4 - 11 I learned something about false teachers. They look for soil that is ready for their teaching. Do the people have a disobedient rebellious heart? Are they ignorant and apathetic? Are they look for ease, affluence and pleasure? When they find such soils they are ready to plant their false seeds. Our hearts are like soil and we must guard that soil so that the seeds of righteousness and truth may be planted.
