Sally Langston: "Matthew 13:24, there is a parable about a group of enemies that plant bad seeds among the good ones to ruin the crops. The farmer notices weeds growing amongst the fruit. The servants asked the farmer if they should round up the weeds before the harvest and what does the farmer say?"
Billy Chambers: "No, let them grow together." 
Sally Langston: "One day, God will burn the weeds and save the fruit, Billy, but for now: let them grow." (The Trail)
