Conspiracy theories allow us to ignore the evil playing out right in front of us.

Spend your time looking for hidden evil & you don't have to time to look at the clear injustice in front of you.

Look for specific identifiable villains & you never have to acknowledge the part you play.

Look for deception & trickery & you never have to question accepted cultural norms.

Look for highly coordinated schemes & you never have to face the banality of evil.

Always be looking behind closed doors of power & you never have see what's happening to your neighbor.

Convince yourself that the solution to evil lies in exposing other people & you'll never have to expose the evil in your own heart.

There's no doubt that evil is widespread. No doubt that darkness is at war w/ light. But for the most part, the battle is raging right in front of our eyes.

If we won't fight evil that is seen, there's no reason to think that we've been given special insight into evil that is unseen.

The one who is faithful in little is faithful in much. The one who fights evil in the light is the one I'll trust to fight it in the darkness.

But if you can look evil in the face & not recognize it, why should I trust that you can see it when it wears a mask?

Praying for God's kingdom to come to earth, for His will to be done here as it is in heaven.

Praying for God to deliver us from evil.
