6.27.15

Oaks. Finding lasting peace and building eternal families. 10/14

New light on the parable of the wheat and tares:
That old enemy of all mankind has found as many devices as he can think of to scatter tares far and wide. He has found ways to have them penetrate even the sanctity of our own homes. The wicked and worldly ways have become so widespread there seems to be no real way of weeding them out. They come by wire and through the air into the very devices we have developed to educate and entertain us. The wheat and the tares have grown close together. *A steward managing the field must, with all his or her power, nourish that which is good and make it so strong and beautiful the tares will have no appeal either to the eye or the ear.* How blessed are we as members of the Lord's Church to have the precious gospel of our Lord and Savior as a foundation on which we can build our lives.

*I love this
