I’m a child of the ’60s: flower power and peace. Evil, I thought, was nothing more than a bad attitude. If we all tried a little harder, all would be well. What do you think of my teenage imaginings?
- Been there, done that. Over it.
- A world without evil–it’s what we all want
Then I met up with reality. I lived with children whose souls had been broken by angry, drunken, selfish adults. Evil. No denying it.
That’s why we pray:
Matthew 6:13 (ESV)
Deliver us from evil.
