Spooky season or not, this is undeniably not the moment that most of us

want a discourse on evil and the devil’s role in how we screw up. And yet,

there’s to escaping that we’re told to pray: “Lead Us Not into temptation

and deliver us from evil.” We look at what is (eh-hem) MIS-leading about

the translation, and how, if we understand this properly, we see how vital

a nuanced understanding of the forces of good and evil really is. The

ultimate test for all of us is whether or not we can prayer “not my will,

but yours” and Jesus shows us how this is done. It starts, and ends, with

knowing just how good, God really is.
