Resist Evil
“Overcome evil with good” sounds so simple, but what does it really mean? Christians have done a lot of un-Christian things in the name of resisting evil. When we read on to chapter 13:10 (where Paul’s train of thought actually leads), we see what Paul had in mind.
The Sermon on the Mount is often acclaimed (even by non-Christians) as the greatest moral teaching ever presented. It dares us to dream of the world-changing things that could happen if we began to walk like Him.
If we are the Temple where redemption happens, what is our plan to draw people to Him? The answer is to relearn an ancient, almost forgotten practice: Hospitality. In a time when loneliness is an epidemic, when few people know their neighbors, something as simple as a meal together can be the starting place for something beautiful to happen.
