Evil in Plain Sight: When Revenge Wears a Righteous Mask
We can disguise our ugliest desires with our most beautiful words. We want people to suffer and call it justice. We celebrate others' pain and call it righteousness. We feed our hunger for revenge and call it God's will.
This four-week Bible study exposes the evil that hides behind religious language and spiritual-sounding motives. Each week peels back another layer of self-deception:
Week 1: The Hidden Heart - How we disguise personal revenge as defending God's honor, and why Jesus sees through our righteous vocabulary to our vengeful hearts.
Week 2: Love Your Enemies - Jesus' impossible command that directly confronts our desire for payback. When we truly love someone, we can't simultaneously want them to suffer.
Week 3: Vengeance Belongs to God - Why choosing restraint when we have power over our enemies shows we trust God's justice more than our own.
Week 4: The Freedom of Forgiveness - How forgiveness doesn't excuse what someone did to us but frees us from what their actions are doing to us.
Through honest Scripture study and penetrating questions, Evil in Plain Sight will challenge you to examine the gap between your spiritual language and your actual motives. This study is for anyone who's ever felt satisfaction when someone "got what they deserved" or struggled with the difference between righteous anger and personal revenge dressed up in holy words.
