Evil is the darkness that pervades our whole society! There is no place to escape from it. From wars between nations to the hostility that resides in many of our homes.

Parents try to protect their children from it, and communities attempt to use law enforcement to curtail it. Churches preach against it and politicians create more laws to legislate against it. 

Evil was given birth in the garden of Eden and continues to be handed down to every new generation. Evil is a heart issue. Evil is anything we do that ignores and lives outside of what God created us to be. Evil is any form of unbelief! 

God is love. The opposite of love is not hate, but selfishness. When we live selfishly, we open the door for evil to prevail. The majority of our attempts to curtail evil are focused on the words, weapons, addictions, and the divisive categories we put each other in.

If we do not deal with the selfishness, unfaithfulness, and unbelieving hearts that we have, the darkness will continue, and evil will destroy everything in its path.

Jesus Christ and the power of the gospel are our only hope!
