It is important for us to understand the nature of sin and evil. It grows by leaps and bounds once we allow sin to enter our lives. No one becomes evil overnight. Sin begins small. It begins with idleness. An idle mind is the Devil’s workshop. When the devil leads us to one sin, we are led to a string of sins. Sin does not come singly. It has many offspring. To cover up our sin for fear of the consequences, we commit more sins. We begin to lie, to deceive and even to kill. If we nurture evil, then evil will grow to be stronger each day till we are numbed to sin and evil.  But if we sow the good seed of virtue and truth, then eventually, “of its own accord the land produces first the shoot, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.  And when the crop is ready, he loses no time: he starts to reap because the harvest has come.”  So we must be careful of what seeds we sow and what kind of ground we provide for the seed to grow.
