Evil
will always be a contender for the hearts and souls of men, women, and
children. Evil is not an easy or popular subject to discuss. In the 16th
century William Shakespeare noted the disastrous effects of evil on society and
on individual lives. Commenting on the assassination of Julius Caesar, Shakespeare
wrote, "The evil that men do lives after them, the good is often buried with
their bones."
1 Corinthians 15:33 reminds us that
evil communications or bad company corrupts good character. It was Caesar's
most trusted advisers and best friend who plotted and carried out his murder. Every
business, home, and automobile has devices to prevent crime that is done by
human beings.
Surviving
evil is a personal choice, a choice that permits the power of God and his word
to hold a prominent place in your life. Evil
creates war within you, but can be defeated by putting on God's armor that's
designed to empower you to claim the Good News of Christ Jesus in the face of
evil. This choice insures your survival.
