Evil has many faces. It appears as an angel of light, a lie, a wink, a nod, compromise….many faces. Some we recognize, others elude us until we are trapped in un-imagined darkness and cannot imagine how we arrived as such a dreary and oppressive place.
Evil has no shame, Without shame it will take anyone at any time without warning. We become trapped in satan’ hell before we are aware of the danger we are face to face with it’s reality. The homeless, the hopeless, prisoners, alcoholics, homosexuals, pedophiles...wondering how they got where they are, having no idea how to escape.
“The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”
We have the answer, but if it remains locked in the fear of man, ‘what will others think? what if I loose my ‘position? What if I say the wrong thing?’ I’ve never done this before.’ “What if’s” silence the voices of hope and allow satan to continue gathering more victims into his web of chaos and confusion, sin and suffering. By our silence we give the deceiver free reign to expand his empire, keeping the door shut to freedom and hope.
