A Bridge to Healthy Thinking

Where hatred exists, evil is never in short supply. Socrates, the Greek philosopher, wrote that "no one can know good and commit evil acts against society. If a person knows the good, yet commits acts of evil, then that person mistook evil for good because of defects in knowledge." Timothy McVeigh mistook evil for good and killed 168 adults and children by bombing the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. 

  

I Think Therefore I Am: Renee Descartes

 McVeigh believed what he did was good. Hatred robbed him of the capacity to see our government as good and those people who worked in the federal building as loved by God. Cold, calculating hatred distorted his perception so completely that he saw evil as good.

           You can change your attitude by believing and trusting in God's Word. Build a bridge to healthy thinking by viewing others from God’s perspective. Seek fellowship with those who pursue change by God’s approved methods. Finally, commit yourself to being redeemed by God's grace and mercy.
