Evil Done Well

“Evil is never done so thoroughly or so well as when it is
done with a good conscience.”

Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)


The Last Days

 

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.
People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful,
proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal,
not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of
pleasure rather than lovers of God—

having a form of godliness but
denying its power. Have nothing to do with such them.

2 Timothy 3:1-5

In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus
will be persecuted,

while evil men and impostors will go from bad
to worse, deceiving and being deceived.

2 Timothy 3:12,13


Is It Not Obvious

 

“And is it not obvious that, just as it is a crime to disturb
the peace when truth reigns, it is also a crime to remain at
peace when the truth is being destroyed?”

Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)


Oh My People

Oh my people, your guides lead you astray; they turn you from the path.

The Lord takes his place in court; he rises to judge the people.

The Lord enters into judgment against the elders and leaders of his people:
“It is you who have ruined my vineyard: the plunder from the poor is in your
houses.

What do you mean by crushing my people and grinding the faces of the
poor?” declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.

Isaiah 3: 12b-15

 


To Distinguish

 


But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use
have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
Hebrews 5:14
