Deuteronomv 29:9
WE NOW come to service for the Lord and there is needful instruction for us all here.
"Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou past sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be defiled."
The seed the Lord has given His servants to sow in His vineyard is His own precious Word. Peter tells us we are, "born again not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth forever." 1 Pet. 1:2323Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. (1 Peter 1:23). All that God has given us to sow in His vineyard is to be found between the covers of His blessed Book. To bring in anything else will make it a mixture, and God hates mixtures.
However, the bringing in of mixtures began in the church in its earliest days. The Colossians saints were warned against "philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ." The Galatians had listened to those who had sought to mix law and grace. The observance of ordinances, holy days, abstaining from meats, the bringing in of religious entertainments into the Sunday schools and gospel meetings, is the very thing the Lord warns against here — "sowing thy vineyard with divers seeds."
