Jesus’ Parable of the Weeds in the Field gives us wisdom and grounding as we begin to engage the problem of evil (theodicy).

God has given Spiritual Gifts to each believer for the common good of the body of Christ.
The work itself, matters to God. Stop closing off this area of your life from God. Soli Deo Gloria means that everything we do – everything! – is to be done to the glory of God (Col. 3:23,24). There are no ‘higher callings’; grace changes everything!
