Dock Weeds in the Garden
Nature NuggetAnalogy★★★★If you try to pull dock weeds out of your garden, only the leaves break off but the root remains. So until you change the root, it will keep popping back up again and again.
Azelton, Kimberly; Hess, Mike; Mills, Philip, “Inspiring the Launch” (AudioVerse teaching 41425).
The point
An analogy comparing persistent weeds to habits or sins that need to be addressed at their root cause.
The lesson
We must let God remove the root of sin in our hearts, not just try to hide the leaves.
