Bad religion makes us divide the world into people who are wheat and weeds (that is, good and bad; see Matthew 13)
Martin Luther, instead of seeing the world in terms of good and bad people, offered that each of us has wheat and weed in our lives — we are “Simul justus et peaccator” (saint and sinner).
Pastor Rob does not simply offer a history lesson, but offers a way for us prayerfully to wrestle with the weeds within and opens our hearts to glorify God for the wheat in our lives. This practice, in turn, can open us up to find common ground with the people whom we likely consider weeds.
