Wheat and Weeds
Jesus is the sower in this parable where he teaches how wheat and weeds grow together until the harvest. The same is true with believers and nonbelievers who must learn to coexist until Judgment Day. The reality is that as believers, we live in two kingdoms on earth—the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of man. Whether in the church or in the world, the way we behave morally is the same, but the way we present that morality must be a bit different. The main difference comes through expectation. The church can be held to a higher authority because we adhere to the teaching of scripture and the way of Jesus, but the world is not like that. As Christians, we need to understand that the world is not always going to see things the same way as us. Right or wrong, we need to see it and be tolerant of it without being accepting of it.

How Does Your Garden Grow?
How critical is it that we weed out all the evil in the world around us? So much of the political agenda of the evangelical church seems to be the opposition of evil. This is not all bad, but should it be our main agenda? Jesus seems to calm his disciples' fears about all the evil in the world by simply acknowledging that the weeds grow alongside the wheat. The prudent farmer doesn't worry about ripping out the weeds - but about growing healthy wheat. On the harvest day, the good and bad will be separated. In the meanwhile, our focus is to be on growing the good! Key Passage: Matthew 13:24-30, 47-50
