"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." Romans 12:21 (NIV)  As October unfolds, we find ourselves surrounded by the sights and sounds of Halloween. From spooky decorations to entertainment with horror themes, Halloween is a season when we can become more aware of the reality of evil in our fallen world. Evil can seem overwhelming – whether it's hatred, injustice, physical violence, or spiritual attacks. However, God calls us to respond to this awareness not with fear, but with faith in him to help us fight evil with the power of good.  Evil is real, but so is God's goodness – and God's good power is much stronger than any evil we face. As God's children in relationships with Jesus, we have the power to overcome evil. We can always fight back against evil and win. Our good God helps us shine the light of good into the darkness of evil around us. In the face of evil, God's goodness shines as a beacon of hope. God's love is unconditional, God's power is limitless, and God's grace is abundant. The Holy Spirit empowers believers to overcome evil and live a life of righteousness. Throughout history, we have seen countless examples of God's goodness triumphing over evil.  Jesus is the ultimate example of overcoming evil with good. He confronted evil with love, forgiveness, and the power of the Holy Spirit. His work to save us from sin was the ultimate victory over evil, demonstrating God's complete triumph over darkness. By following Jesus' example, we can learn to overcome evil in our own lives.  There are many ways we can overcome evil with good. We can fill our minds with the truth of God's Word by reading the Bible, memorizing verses, and applying its wisdom to the decisions we make. We can pray for God's protection over our lives and ask God for discernment to recognize how to best resist evil in our lives. We can be intentional about choosing words of hope, encouragement, and truth in our conversations with people and our interactions on social media. We can serve others through intentional acts of kindness that spread God's light in this dark world. We can rely on God's strength to help us forgive the people who have hurt us, showing them grace because God has shown us grace.    CONTINUE READING →

4 Ways to Encounter Grace and Truth: A Study on John, Chapter 4   Robert Hampshire Even in our super-connected society, there are some people we pass by and never meet. Sometimes, we miss an encounter that could challenge, teach, or change us. Jesus, however, was always intentional about the people he met. One example is in John 4 when he stops and talks with the woman known as "the Woman at the Well."  In this passage, Jesus is on his way to Galilee. Instead of continuing on, he chooses to go through the town of Samaria, where he stops beside a well. While he is there, a woman from Samaria comes to draw water. In this study, we will dive into this deep Scripture to study 4 ways to encounter grace and truth through John, Chapter 4.
