Evil

I had a student ask me the other day if I believed in mediums.  I told the student that I would not have anything to do with them and that they should stay away from them.  Others students then spoke up in agreement for them and some spoke up against them.  I told them that we needed to get going on the math and I changed the subject.

I was surprised by the subject and needed more time to decide if I should talk about it.  I plan on talking about evil.  Evil does exist and so many students participate in it recreationally in the form of books, movies, music and pornography on their computers and phones.

I want to first get my students to agree that their is evil in this world.  I also want them to know that we are all capable of doing evil things.  We don't get to decide what is right and what is wrong... that is God's job and He has told us in the Bible.

Kids read books like the Twilight series or Harry Porter for entertainment.  These are the main type of books kids at school read.  It is creepy! When I was their age, there were books about witches and vampires, but the people that read and liked them were social deviants.  Every body thought they were creepy.  Now it is common place and there even exists an expectation of knowledge about these subjects.  Kids are surprised when you tell them you haven't read these books and even more surprised if/when you say they are evil.

Kids today have NO IDEA what evil is.  They have little to no idea what sin is.

You can't save someone unless they know they need to be saved.

Kids need to know they are sinners.  Kids need to know their is evil.  I am so disappointed how much the Christian community has embraced evil.  I want to walk with God and live a holy life.  I fail myself and get caught up in the allure of worldly things myself.  I pray that God will help me to be a witness at school to my students.  There are so many lost students.  Lord help me to be a good witness in word and deed.
