Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. 

— Dietrich Bonhoeffer 

Every evil act tends to harden man’s heart, that is, to make him more evil.

— C.S. Lewis

Romans 12:21 — Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Genesis 1:1 — In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Hebrews 11:3 — We believe in God, so that is how we know that God made the world by his word. The things we see were made out of things that cannot be seen.

Psalm 14:1 — Only fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good!

Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil – it has no point.

Genesis 3

1 The serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild animals the Lord God had made. One day he asked the woman, “Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the garden?”

2 “Of course we may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,” the woman replied. 

3 “It’s only the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden that we are not allowed to eat. God said, ‘You must not eat it or even touch it; if you do, you will die.’”

4 “You won’t die!” the serpent replied to the woman. 

5 “God knows that your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God, knowing both good and evil.”

2 Timothy 3

1 Remember that there will be difficult times in the last days. 

2 People will be selfish, greedy, boastful, and conceited; they will be insulting, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, and irreligious; 

3 they will be unkind, merciless, slanderers, violent, and fierce; they will hate the good; 

4 they will be treacherous, reckless, and swollen with pride; they will love pleasure rather than God; 

5 they will hold to the outward form of our religion, but reject its real power. Keep away from such people.

We’re living in an unprecedented day (when) evil is no longer evil. We’ve changed the terminology — iniquity is now infirmity; wickedness is now weakness; devilry is now deficiency.

— Leonard Ravenhill 

Romans 1

24 People wanted only to do evil. So God left them and let them go their sinful way. And so they became completely immoral and used their bodies in shameful ways with each other.

25 They traded the truth of God for a lie. They bowed down and worshiped the things God made instead of worshiping the God who made those things. He is the one who should be praised forever. Amen.

26 Because people did those things, God left them and let them do the shameful things they wanted to do. Women stopped having natural sex with men and started having sex with other women. 

27 In the same way, men stopped having natural sex with women and began wanting each other all the time. Men did shameful things with other men, and in their bodies they received the punishment for those wrongs.

28 People did not think it was important to have a true knowledge of God. So God left them and allowed them to have their own worthless thinking. And so they do what they should not do. 

29 They are filled with every kind of sin, evil, greed, and hatred. They are full of jealousy, murder, fighting, lying, and thinking the worst things about each other. They gossip 

30 and say evil things about each other. They hate God. They are rude, proud, and brag about themselves. They invent ways of doing evil. They don’t obey their parents, 

31 they are foolish, they don’t keep their promises, and they show no kindness or mercy to others. 

32 They know God’s law says that anyone who lives like that should die. But they not only continue to do these things themselves, but they also encourage others who do them.

Genesis 6

The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart.

Proverbs 8:13 — The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate.

Proverbs 6:16-19 

There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.

Ephesians 6:12 — For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

Romans 12:9 — Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.

1 Thessalonians 5:22 — Abstain from every form of evil.

1 Timothy 6:10 — For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.

Romans 12:21 — Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Be The People (Responsibilities) 

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

— Martin Luther King Jr 

The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. 

— Martin Luther King Jr 

Psalm 23:4 — Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Psalm 119:133 — Guide me, as you promised. Don’t let evil rule over me.

Matthew 6:13 — And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

2 Timothy 3

12 Everyone who wants to live a godly life in union with Christ Jesus will be persecuted; 

13 and evil persons and impostors will keep on going from bad to worse, deceiving others and being deceived themselves. 

14 But as for you, continue in the truths that you were taught and firmly believe. You know who your teachers were, 

15 and you remember that ever since you were a child, you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

As for me…
