Beware of the Tares Within

We need to fight for the faith, and we’ve

got to always stick with the Truth of God!

Fred R. Coulter—October 4, 2025

Transcript

In this compelling message, Mr. Fred R. Coulter delivers a powerful warning to Christians about the constant need to "fight fervently for the faith" and "stick with the Truth of God." Drawing from the parable of the tares, Mr. Coulter emphasizes that false doctrines and teachers have always worked both within and against the Church. He issues a stark reminder to "prove all things" against the unchanging standard of the Word of God, cautioning viewers about those who corrupt the Scriptures for their own profit by deceitful handling or mistranslation.

Fred Coulter uses examples from the Epistles of Paul and Peter, particularly the difficult-to-understand passages, to expose how religious traditions and the works of men have been incorrectly substituted for the commandments of God. He meticulously clarifies the difference between the Law of God—which is a blessing—and the false, traditional "works of law" that can never bring justification. Mr. Coulter asserts that justification is found through the sacrifice of Christ, which pardons the breaking of God’s Law, enabling the faithful to live in obedience and love.

Fred also shares a sobering personal history, detailing the eventual destruction of the Worldwide Church of God as a cautionary tale of what happens when leadership ceases to fight against internal tares, gives in to political maneuvering, and invites vanity. Fred’s candid explanation provides a vital lesson on the danger of following a man blindly versus faithfully following the Word of God. He concludes by exhorting all brethren to stand firm in the Truth with humility and love, prepared to face difficult times without yielding "a single square inch to any false doctrines." He reminds listeners that our life goal is to learn how to be spirit beings in the Family of God.
