Pushing Back Evil

The other day a friend and I had a good discussion on the topic of “evil” in our current world.

We easily tend to look at the negatives in the world around us.  We see wars, famine, murder, and injustice all around.  However, if we really take the time to look back at our history, much of the evidence will argue that things are better then they’ve ever been.  We need to remember that the amount of media coverage and accessibility in knowledge to current events is higher then its ever been.  This causes us to be more aware of the evil that exists, but it doesn’t mean that it hasn’t always been there.  We actually have come a long way on large topics such as; slavery, war, diversity, sex, and even politics!  Write me off if you want, but the history speaks for itself.

Each day we are called to dedicate our lives to pushing back the sin in this world and restoring everything back to Him.  He wants your spouse, children, hobbies, career, friends, and just plain…everything.  By focusing on that mission, rather than being overwhelmed by the daily news, we can begin to live out our calling from God.  Having knowledge of current events and knowing the evil that exists is important, but even more, is taking part in a body of believers, the church, who daily push back this evil.  Now that’s a mission worth being a part of.  If anyone wants to discuss what this looks like further, email me at ryan@egm.org

We are after all a group of Spirit-Empowered people equipped and ready to fight…together
