1 Thes. 5:22 Avoid Every Kind Of Evil.

We are made vulnerable by our pain. In pain, because we are vulnerable, evil can come into our life and diminish us or destroy us. Whether we are in pain or not, we must avoid every kind of evil. Evil has tentacles reaching out to choke us out of our life. Evil makes our pain worse and our pain makes us so vulnerable we do not fend off the pain or the evil. Our pain can blind us to such an extent we no longer see the evil in order to avoid the evil. Evil can whisper in our ear. If we are in enough pain, we listen to the whispers of evil and then fall into the pit of temptation. To avoid every kind of evil, we must continually be kneeling at the foot of Christ’s cross.
