What About Evil

Whenever people set themselves against me and My goodness, thats evil. Why there is evil in the world? Because they love more, more more, Lord, our heart often run after "stuff," Teach us not to be obsessed with collecting more and more material goods. May we instead learn what it means to be "rich" toward you. One of Satan's subtle deception is that you can do things in secret that will never be revealed. This is simply not so. The Bible stresses that everything done in darkness will one day be brought to light. So before you commit yourself to do anything questionable, seriously, ask. Yourself. Some people love shop. They have a perpetual desire to buy, buy, buy. The craze to find  the latest deal is worldwide. There are huge shopping malls in China, Philippines, Britannia, United States, around the world. A rise in store purchases and online buying show that buying is a global phenomenon. "Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he posseses (Luke 12:15). The knowledge that God sees what we do, the certainty that we are accountable for every word  and action, ought to dissuade us from sin. For all of us must appear before Christ, to be judged by him. We will each receive what we deserve. According to everything we have done, good or bad, in our bodily life. But we can become so alienated from God that even this knowledge does not deter us. God promises that He will publicly expose our sin so that we must give an account to others for our actions. Shopping can be fun. Certainly. There is nothing wrong with trying to find a real to enjoy the things God has given to us. But when we become preoccupied with obtaining material goods, we lose focus. Scripture commands us to expose the deeds of darkness as we become aware of them. (Eph.5:11). As Christian we are to be the light that dispels darkness in our world. Sin cannot continue in the Christians experience, for light cannot dwell with darknesd. The only insurance against having your sin exposed is living blameless life. Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of Justice. Blessed are all who wait for Him. (Isaiah 30:18).
