Deliver Us

While we might disagree about the source and origins of evil, I think most Christians would agree that there is evil in the world. When I think of evil, I think about forces like oppression, war, dehumanization, abuse, violence, etc. This evil not only separates us from God but gets perpetuated by Christians when we deviate from the kind of life and morality by which Jesus calls us to live. 

When we ask God to "deliver us" from evil, I think we are partially asking simply to be spared from the fruits of the evil in the world. But I also wonder if we are also asking for the strength to resist that evil and make known the Kin-dom of God through love?

I look forward to talking about it on Tuesday!

Grace and peace,
