The
predictability of evil’s being everywhere is undeniable to the point of evil’s
being accepted as commonplace. Explicit sex in films and on T.V. is a prime
example. Newscasts are so inundated with violence that we become numbed to its power
and influence. Evil invades our belief system and cleverly begins to question
our values and morals.
Initially President Richard Nixon’s highest
aim was integrity for himself and his presidential office. Yet the dark side of
himself and his advisers eventually gained power to the point of corruption and
destruction.
Balaam,
an Old Testament prophet, purposed to believe in God. Listen to his testimony. "How
can I curse those whom God has not cursed? How can I denounce those whom the
Lord has not denounced? Let me die the death of the righteous and may my end be
like theirs." That sounds like a man of faith, but his dark side
contaminated by evil upstaged his best intentions. How unfortunate.
