Many of us have been hurt by sins, wrongs, the evil of others. In a world where there is freedom for us to choose to hurt others, we will get hurt. So what is God going to do about this? If He loves us, shouldn't He just go ahead and get rid of all evil?

The answers lie in a parable told by Jesus, "the parable of the wheat and the tares" (also known as "the parable of the wheat and the weeds"). In this story we will see how the owner of a field (i.e., Jesus) had his field sabotaged by an enemy (i.e., the devil), who sowed bad seed among the owner's good. Thus the owner had a choice to make - get rid of the tares immediately or let both the wheat and the tares (i.e., the good and bad people) grow together. Fortunately for us, Jesus explains which He chose, why He chose it, and what will ultimately happen to those who follow Satan instead of God.

Scriptures covered: Titus 2:11-14, Matthew 13:24-30, Revelation 21:1-8.

If God loves us, why does He allow evil to happen to us? And did God create evil? The answers lie within why God made people in the first place. You see, we as people are made in God's likeness, God's image. What we will see today is that means we are children of God, children with the capacity to choose between right and wrong, good and evil.

We take a jovial look at an embarrassing work situation that holey matters to me, our odd use of the f-bomb, and then close it out with some clean comedy, literally. And no, despite the title, I do not go all "Eddie Murphy" on you in this routine. It is about as unadult as adult comedy can be. Also, my apologies as certain parts of this only make sense from a video perspective.
