Fear is so popular these today. “Scare them to death. Oh man, that will be so fun!” I understand the lost possibly doing/thinking these things, but even professing Christians? Really?  

When people divorce themselves from the truth, and promises, of God’s Word, then evil might be fun. In all my years, I have yet to see a Halloween display that celebrates the people who live in that home as the victims of some evil crime or as headed for hell. The most horrific Halloween display could never capture the horror of hell, an eternal hell. 

What does God call someone who doesn’t abhor evil? He calls them wicked. “The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes. For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful. The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good. He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil” (Psalms 36:1-4).

Notice that last thing in the list is that the wicked don’t abhor evil. Evil is to be loathsome, despised, and cast away from us. We are to have absolutely nothing to do with what is evil. 

Could I encourage you that anytime you see something evil, use it as a stimulant to increase your sharing the gospel with those who are headed for their worst nightmare, an eternal one. 

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned” (Mark 16:15-16).
