Name some of the big issues or injustices in the world, today.

Some things that come to my mind are bullying, human trafficking, and the persecution of Christians.

As Christians, we love the Lord. We gather regularly to praise His name. We tell of all His wonderful works. The other half of the equation isn’t always as present in our lives.

Do you hate what is evil?

It’s much easier to ignore it. Fighting against injustice and evil is hard. It takes time. It requires emotional investment. However, we are called to do this as well.

Perhaps it’s because we, ourselves, aren’t directly impacted. We aren’t being harmed and don’t see those who are. The other day I was listening to someone on the radio talk about a group that fights human trafficking. One of the group members had said that when you see a young boy or girl freed and reunited with their family, it changes you forever. You never forget it.

Even if we don’t have that kind of experience, we can still act. We can fight for those who can’t fight for themselves.

What can you, individually, do to combat evil?

What can we, as a church, do?

What can we do together with other churches in the area?

Dear Jesus,

Open my eyes to what is evil in Your sight. Give me holy anger against that which is evil. Break my heart for those who are victimized by these evils. Help me to stand against evil and fight for those who are harmed by it.

Amen.
