We are called to trust God in the midst of His Story. How does God deal with evil?

God acts in a variety of ways to limit the effects of evil in each of at least six covenants (Adamic, Noahic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, Davidic, and in the New Covenant).

Our Lord Jesus Christ—God’s anointed King—came as our savior from evil (selves, sin, death, and devil). He paid the price for our rebellion.

In this time of Community, there are Weeds among the Wheat. We cannot condemn and reject others. But we must repent of our own evil. And we need to be willing to pay the price for evil in our society and act redemptively.

Here is a pointed example of how this might work: I am not proposing a political action when I suggest that Christians be willing to take babies found to be unbearable in the third trimester of a woman's pregnancy. I don't mean to judge or condemn any woman facing a crisis in the third trimester. Is there a way, without judgment or condemnation, disciples of Jesus can offer to adopt the baby and so come along side a woman who finds her situation intolerable? In the second century of our era, Christians adopted the children exposed to doe outside the city gates. Can we learn from their example? Can we also act redemptively in our culture?
