the chaff within

Friday August 3rd, Matthew 13: 47 "Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish. 48 When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away. Oh how we want to interpret this as an insider/outsider tale. We of course are the good fish in that scenario. But let’s break it down. First the kingdom is like a net that catches all kinds of fish. Do you get that, All Kinds. Next, it is the kingdom that does the catching, not fancy programs or lures or bait. If churches are not doing kingdom work then it is just entertainment. Entertainment is not bad, but it is still only entertainment. Next, all these separation texts, wheat from tares, sheep from goats, good fish from bad fish, are they individuals or groups that are being separated as is taught in most churches, or is it the chaff within us?
