Quoted:
Please elaborate a little more. Well, what can we personally do ourselves concerning restraining ourselves and others from expressing evil traits or behaviors especially in the kind of world in which we live today? In other words, what kind of actions should we take in order to combat evil when it comes near to us. In word, in deed, or whatever form evil might take on in our midst as a direct challenge to our Christian walk with Jesus, and our Christian witness as we know that our weapons against the world are not carnal, but the superseding spiritual of God, if you and I are to fight the good fight of faith against our adversary the Devil or one of his emissaries who are always looking for a opportunity to bring us down a notch or two if they can. What can we do as Christian people who are aware of these things to help break the cycle of this reticulation that the Devil usually employs against us? Should we be as gentle as a dove, or as wise as a serpent? Something else? Measures used or employed successfully in the past which seemed to work fairly well for you? Thanks |
