    Too many people are succumbing to the cynicism of the postmodern mindset of defeatism. Paul writes, "Do not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good." (Rom. 12:21)

Illustration:One salesman came back from a remote part of the world informing his boss that he could not sell any shoes to the people. When the supervisor asked the salesman why the people were resistant to purchasing shoes the ...read more

    The future is filled with possibilities both good and evil. There may be some very unpleasant things ahead for you that you can avoid as Jesus taught in Mt 24:20,21. We will examine a very clear example of overcoming the evil decree found in the book of Esther.

    Overcoming The Evil Decree I want to begin by explaining what I mean by an evil decree. An evil decree is something painful and hurtful that may or may not happen unless you take action to stop it. Shortly I will show exactly that from the biblical book of Esther. But as a little background ...read more

    Evil is never overcome by more evil nor by playing into the power and victim games that others would use to entrap us. Evil is only overcome by goodness that lets our abusers know we will remain in control of how we choose to respond
