"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness does not overpower it" (John 1:5). Yelling at the darkness doesn't do any good. Ever since sin entered the world, spiritual darkness has overshadowed the human race. It began with the devil, it corrupted our souls, and it degraded our communities. Spiritual darkness wraps itself in lies and deceptions and seeks to destroy God's plans and rule over all creation. It is wickedness run amuck. It has infected politics, education, business, and churches.
