The parable of wheat and tares in Matthew 13 teaches us that good and evil will both exist in the same places.  It is quite obvious there will be times when they will look so much alike that we may not be able to tell the difference.   Good and evil exist in the places we shop, the places we work, in our academic institutions, in our government and at times even in our homes.  The wisdom in this parable is that they both need to develop to their true nature for us to be able to recognize them.   I realize this poses a great challenge for us at times to be subjected to the consequences of evil while attempting to discern the good.  My desire and mission is to ask God to give me the wisdom to discern the difference.  I am trusting in His calling to encourage Americans through Biblical teaching as well as commentary on the many societal and cultural issues facing each one.  I have a great hope of helping each one navigate our lives to be all that God created us to be and to enjoy the peace that comes from living with an assurant hope for eternity thru a relationship with Christ.                                                                                                                                                                                          Blessings, Joe

 More than 100 years ago, Alexis de Toqueville, a famous French political philosopher, visited our nation to uncover the secret of our greatness. He traveled from town to town, talking with people, asking questions, examining every facet of our society. 

"Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.”
