It seems that the evening news goes from one tragic event to another. The whole world was tuned into the tragic events in Paris last week. We are holding our breath realizing that extremists seem bent on becoming terrorists. And, we realize that it can happen in our own back yard!

On top of tragic world events, we hear of local incidents – stabbings, shootings and other violent crimes – that affect the lives of so many on a daily basis. It happens in areas known for crime as well as areas that are considered to be safe. It hasn’t been that long since a portion of a street in my own neighbourhood was cordoned off with yellow police tape. Residents were shocked to learn of a “suspicious death” that occurred there. That death was later determined to have been a homicide.

Why do these things happen? Is there an evil force driving these atrocious deeds?  Did you know that the Bible reveals there is an unseen power that works behind the scenes, shaping our world to its will and agenda? Each of us needs to be sure we are not being taken in by this influencing power. It is important to learn who is trying to bend your thinking to his own. You may find some surprising  answers in the booklet, Is There Really a Devil?
