2012 Harvest: Partners in Harvest
Matthew 13:24-30 records Jesus’ parable of the wheat and the tares. This parable has incredibly important eschatological meaning, but I believe that it also teaches us much about the heart of God toward man. The earlier parable of the sower teaches us that God sows good seed everywhere, in every person. God does not limit...

Isaiah 56:1 says “This is what the LORD says: ‘Maintain justice and do what is right, for my salvation is close at hand and my righteousness will soon be revealed.” In biblical terms justice and righteousness are the same.
