Read Romans 12:9,21 Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good…Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Reflect How do we know what is good versus what is evil? Have you ever watched a movie or read a book that made you unintentionally root for the bad guy? It’s happened to me before. Writers can make the main character seem so likable and cast the antagonists in such a terrible light that I suddenly find myself sympathizing with the ma

That's why Paul in his letters, time and again, reminds us of the necessity of discipling and mentoring each other. It's only when we are working together that we can stand strong against the lies that try to infiltrate the church. STEP 2 - REFLECT (How does this Scripture Apply to your life?) Look around the world
