God's Vineyard
R.G. Hardy
In the parables of Isaiah 5 & John 15, God is depicted as a vine dresser. He planted his premium seed in a very fruitful field, expecting blue-ribbon grapes. In spite of His careful cultivation and dutiful oversight, the vineyard of Isaiah 5 brought forth sour grapes, leaving God no choice but to tear it up. The vines of John 15 yielded many barren branches, forcing them to be cut off and burned.
The fruitful branches abiding in the vine were also pruned—not to be discarded, but to be cultivated to bring forth more fruit. When God takes His pruning shears to us, it is uncomfortable, but the fruit we bear will bring glory to the Father.

The Parable of the TaresSharon Hardy Knotts
In this sequel to the Parable of the Seed, Satan sows poisonous weeds among not the world or sinners — but among the Church and the children of God. These tares look exactly like wheat, and when their roots become entwined with the wheat, it is hard to separate the two. When fully grown, the wheat is brown, but the tares are black, and when its seeds are eaten by birds and beasts, they cause intoxication, vertigo, convulsions, and even death.
Unfortunately, it is why we sometimes have to put up with hypocrites, because if you try to uproot the weed, you may uproot a tender wheat plant too. We are called to preach the true gospel, the whole counsel of God, and leave the separating to Him. He knows the wheat from the weeds!
