To Serve - Truth of the Day

“just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” Matthew 20 : 28 TRUTH FOR TODAY:  Pride has overtaken every man and can only be defeated through Jesus.  There has been a deceitful, evil creature that has lured underneath the human skin since the befall of Adam. Pride. It was the opposite of God’s nature; and when it has its way, it can cause detestation and torture. When Jesus came, as God, when He died on the cross, He defeated the luring creature. He showed us that we should serve one another, and to surrender to God. God first, people second and you last.

Pondering the Bible: How can a good God allow evil?

""The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9 NKJV http://bible.com/114/jer.17.9.nkjv Q:  How can a good God allow evil?  This is the question I get from many Christianity skeptics. Well, let’s think all the way back to the beginning. God gave Adam and Eve a choice. To remain in His goodness, and enjoy a peaceful, free life, or go their own way and define good and evil for yourself. We all know what happened. The point I’m trying to make is,  man chose to do evil.  If you decide to deliberately burn yourself by putting your hand in an oven, you can’t blame the cook for that. It’s the same thing!  Man chose to do evil.  Well, why can’t God get rid of evil?  Do you want to remove your existence? Well, God doesn’t. You see, if God removed evil, He would have to remove man in the process, as man is evil. But He found a way to remove evil from us without wiping us out. He sent Jesus to die for us, and if we accept
