Called to Holiness pt 1 Wheat and Tares

I have a principle I would like to put forth that I think anyone that represents Christ should know of. It is that we are called to follow him, we are called to holiness.

Wheat and Tares/ bearing fruit
Matthew 13:24-30 Another parable he put forth to them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; but, while the man slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared.so the servants of the owner came and said to him, "sir did you not sow good seed in your field? how then does it have tares?" and he said to them, " an enemy has done this" the servants said to him" Do you want us then to go and gather them up?" but he said " no, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, ' First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barns.' "
Now, we are the Lords field, we have the we have the fruit he has given us to bear for him. The fruit varies from person to person, our ministry, gifts of healing, prophesy, and the like.however we also have tares that come up(things that render our ministry ineffective, or twist our perspective on our spiritual gifts)for example, one year, Randy Clark nearly did not get invited back to Brazil because a team member was seen smoking a cigarette, the Brazilian Christians see smoking and drinking as signs of immaturity as Christians. So something that is worldly, not neccicarly evil,that can render you ineffective as an example of Christ to others is what I am considering tares.

This trip is a time of harvest, we will see fruit and become more aware of the tares in our lives and those around us. Now we are to work as the reapers. when we see things in our or other team members lives that lessen our ministry,we are to take, and bind them to be burned. Then we are to take our fruit to His barns, where He will bless it and make it more abundant, so those who see us would glorify God.

Thank you for reading and God bless you.
