Christian Living -Wise in a world where evil plots and that which is good seems to fade away; we are as believers supposed to be Wise concerning Good and Evil. Being wise in a simple biblical way helps us to move forward in a manner acceptable to God through Christ Jesus. Here it can be a minefield of theology and church denominational creeds that can befuddle and confuse most believers. What is biblical in one place is not so in another. Things that are deemed important in one place can be found to be contrary in another.

Christian Living Wise to do Good and Evil
Christian Living Wise to do good is important. Be sure there are those wise to do evil. Jeremiah speaks to this issue that those in Judah and Jerusalem were “wise to do evil”. If you think the Hebrews were the only ones that placed their wisdom to do evil; then you are wrong. Today it would take a veritable amount of time and patience to try to dissuade those doing evil from doing so. As Christians we are not to live peoples lives. We are to live our own and if we so choose, do so in a manner that follows biblical principles.
(19) For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.
Rom 16:19 “Be Wise concerning Good and evil”
I do not nor can I or my family aim towards changing people’s minds from certain behavior. The changes must come from a move of the Spirit of God on their hearts. Matter of fact in Revelation chapter 22 we find the definitive on behavior in the last book of the Apocalypse. Here find the author, who has the very first word on this and the ultimate last word on behavior is the “Alpha and Omega”. The Lord Jesus Christ who is all in all. He addresses the fact that those who are “Unjust, let him [or her] be unjust still” and those who want to be “righteous”, let him [or her] be righteous still”! The fact is, God has given man a choice. Our God will judge all people one day at the great white throne judgment. This is known as the second death. The Lord in Revelation 22 says “I come quickly”! He will reward all people according to their works in this life. Evil or good; all will be judged.
He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. (12) And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. (13) I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Rev 22:11-13
The believer today who has accepted the Lord and followed him will die eventually. This body of death, our human flesh is corrupt and must pass away. Our spirits being redeemed by Jesus Christ and his vicarious death on the cross has given us victory over sin, death, and the grave! When we die, as the Apostle Paul says, “to be absent from this body is to be present with the Lord”! We have overcome, so says Revelation 12:11. By the “Blood of the Lamb [the cross of Calvary, his death and resurrection, and by our believing on him]; the “Word of our testimony” [as the Lord said “if you confess me before men, I will confess you before the Father]; and we love not our lives unto the death [whosoever loses his life for Jesus or the gospel will find it]. Thus, this describes our victory, being past tense as well; it already gives us a victory. This scripture is faith and is mighty for it tells us as we follow the Lord, we are victorious; even if they kill us. Now death is not a happy thought for any human. However, many Christians today are so earthly minded they certainly don’t want to die anytime soon. While the church is in the world, be it known that the world is in church. We can take the church out of the world, but the world today will not be broken from out of the churches we attend. This will only occur by the Lord gathering the real church, the ecclesia or called out ones. These are the flesh and bone and spirit of the human believers; we are the church. When 2 or 3 gather in the name of the Lord, he is in the midst of us. Thus, when his believers gather in a building in his name, he is in the midst of them. It is not the man-made names of churches, nor the building itself, nor the pulpit, or any contents of the building that is sacred. The only holy portion is the Lord who is in us, our body is that temple in which he resides.
Christian Living Wise to do Good and Evil -America
The battle for many, especially in America is the ongoing division, hate filled rants, hate filled politics, and the blatant sin. We have not one clue in the place we call the United States of evil. We have no real attitudes to run our nation in a godly manner according to the bible. We also are not a theocracy, but we were at one time a functional constitutional republic. Today in many quarters Christianity is on the defensive, believers killed, imprisoned, harassed, and even in America face ridicule for their faith.
But knowing good and evil is and can be simple. Franklin Graham when questioned on a certain future Presidential candidate who is openly gay, quoted the bibles verse on homosexuality. Now be sure the verse in Leviticus 20:13 doesn’t say one thing about homosexuality. It is a simple verse that can be understood. No matter what those who do these things say; it is simple. “If a man also lie with mankind as he lieth with a woman, both have committed an abomination”! That is the end of the story. Graham says he believes the bible is God’s word and this will settle it for him. He also says he loves the sinner enough to warn him or her. Well the sinners hate to be warned and even more detest those who hold to biblical standards.
Now it may not be easy or fun to convince people of true evil that will bring judgment, but it is the truth. As believers we are to “walk in the light as he [Jesus Christ] is in the light, then we have fellowship one with another and the blood of Jesus Christ his son cleanses us of all unrighteousness”-1st John 1:7! Now if we have the church with a homosexual pastor and other Christians who say they are Christians, then this brings confusion to the church. Today we are in that confused area and have been for decades.
Christian Living Wise to do Good and Evil -The Church
The church was warned of the tares and the wheat. Among us, are those who are tares and say they are like us. Yet they are different. They bring forth fruit, but fruit unto judgment. In addition, we are to testify; that is by the word of our testimony. We are not told to make them obey or else. They have a choice. They can choose and those who come to power in a nation can make the decisions to believe or not. We have nations around the world who govern in opposition to what we as Christians call biblical truth. In all of this, we cannot change it. We can pray, but in the end the nations will be judged. The Lord will come and bring an end to all rebellion. This also is something we cannot change.
Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. (18) For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. (19) For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil. (20) And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
Rom 16:17-20
The only truth in the world is God’s word the bible. The only light in the world are those believers who are in a true bond with the Lord Jesus Christ and follow him no matter what. Be sure believers around the world are being tested, killed, raped, slaughtered, put in prison, and harassed. We cover these issues through our Advocacy for the Persecuted church on our Warn Radio shows. We are to stand, in faith, believing; and having done all to stand for Christ, we are to stand. That is simple! But we do this in Love, believing, and following his light. If we face tribulation for that is also mentioned by the Lord in the bible.
Jeremiah in the end could do nothing to stop Judah on a downward slide towards judgment. These people had religious activities, faith, and obedience; but in the end were wicked. They did not fear the Lord enough to obey him. In fact, the Lord said they were “wise to do evil”! Note here they were not “wise to do good”! They went to church, had a priest, and a bible; i.e. they went to the temple, had the high priest, their own prophets, and torah. Yet in all this they failed to serve Him. Know this oh Christian, mere religious activity may make you feel good but unless your truly born again and walking in His Light, you are fooling yourself. The Lord spoke to Israel through Jeremiah and the words were tough “they have belied [denied and opposed] the LORD”. They also told the Prophet that the words he spoke were not the LORDS words. They also denied that any evil would come upon them. It is true here that the only time the enemies of Israel truly got advantage of them were when Israel was backslidden and away from the Lord.
Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.
Jer 5:11-13
Jer 2:19
For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
Jer 4:22
(11) For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD. (12) They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine: (13) And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.
Christian Living Wise to do Good and Evil -Enemies in America
Moreover, in America we have enemies today. They are in this nation, some even elected to public office. For all intents and purposes the America I grew up in no longer exists. The place we live in today is rife with rebellion and other purposes for America. One where the word SIN doesn’t exist unless you oppose the status quo. If God allowed the enemies of Israel to enter in when they fell away from Him and stopped any Fear of God, then he will do it to America. Which has already occurred. If God sent his people into captivity, thrown down Jerusalem, the temple, and the priests and prophets; he will do it to this nation. The signs of our demise is everywhere. Yet in the White House stands a man called Donald Trump who simply wanted to Make America Great again. He has Christians alongside him. They have a prayer meeting going on in the place. Yet he and those with him are the most reviled and they serve a hated President of all time. Now be sure not all Americans hate President Trump, but His enemies plot daily evil to overthrow him. This is evil and should never occur in this nation. But today it does. So they hate this President.
Why? Simply because he is right. America could be great again, but it takes not only the jobs and factories to come here. It takes a repentant nation, a people that fear the Lord God enough to stop doing evil. It takes a Christian people to stand up and be counted for truth. It takes a purging of the church to cleanse the place from the filth that is in them.
From idolatry to immoral behavior and more; we are a filthy lot. It will only be for Gods mercy through His Son that we can be saved. That includes making America great again. She has been on the downslide for a century or more. This nation has been warned many times in the past going back to the signors of the declaration of Independence.
What say you? Will you take on the simple idea of good and evil?
Paul tells Roman Christians that they should love and do so without “dissimulation” or “dishonesty, concealment, or disguise”! Love should go forth from us, as we walk in the Light of the Lord. But the Apostle also said to “Abhor that which evil” and to “cleave to that which is good.” This is found in Romans twelve and verse 9. We are to “Abhor” evil, that is to detest, hate utterly, and loathe evil. We are certainly not supposed to love it. We love the sinner, hate the sin and work by praying and testifying to him or her. In addition, we are to “cleave” to that which is good. Here we are to “stick” like glue sticks. We are to stick to those things which are biblically sound and good. In other words, we are to keep company with that which is good!
This is simple, we are to abhor or detest utterly that which is evil. We are to stick like glue to those things which are good. In addition, let me add here that you need to make sure your home, lifestyle, reading material, watching materials, friends, and anything else is on that foundation of goodness. If your church is not biblically sound leave it and find one that is. Your soul and the souls of your friends, your family, and those you meet are at stake. Evil only succeeds when those who know to do good fail to do so. If good stood up a very long time ago and pushed back at the evils in this nation, maybe we wouldn’t be in such a spot today.
Scriptural clues to the Battle and Christian Living Wise to do Good or Evil!
Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity: (3) Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words: (4) That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. (5) They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, who shall see them? (6) They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep. (7) But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded. (8) So, they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away. (9) And all men shall fear and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing. (10) The righteous shall be glad in the LORD and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
Psa 64:2-10
See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. (16) Rejoice evermore. (17) Pray without ceasing. (18) In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. (19) Quench not the Spirit. (20) Despise not prophesyings. (21) Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. (22) Abstain from all appearance of evil. (23) And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1Th 5:15-23
Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. (10) Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another; (11) Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; (12) Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; (13) Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. (14) Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. (15) Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. (16) Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. (17) Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. (18) If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. (19) Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. (20) Therefore, if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirsts, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. (21) Be not overcome of evil but overcome evil with good.
