This document discusses the difference between internal and external indicators of spiritual health and growth. It uses the examples of Israel's worship to illustrate how externals like altars and festivals can exist without true internal devotion. The main point is that flourishing weeds, mentioned in the biblical passages of Hosea 9-10, are a warning sign of a neglected relationship with God, as different types of weeds can steal blessings, poison harvests, and spread unchecked if left unattended. The document encourages self-reflection on one's own spiritual health and cultivation of righteousness.
