Some people are searching for the truth. It is important to make sure you are looking to Jesus. Like Tad Leery on Sunday, you will not find what is good and true by looking at other religions, by looking to t.v. and fashion styles, ect.
Read Genesis 2-3- It is the story of Adam and Eve and how they were deceived by the serpent.
Remember, you cannot listen to everyone. For example, Adam and Eve should not have listened to the serpernt.
How do you know what is good and evil?
-Good is from God
scripture: Mark 10:16 Jesus answered "No one is good--except God alone."
-Evil is from the devil
scripture: Revelation 12:9 "...that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray."
Adam and Eve looked to someone besides God to fill their hearts. They thought they could run their own lives and KNOW better. That however brought all kinds of problems.
We know the good by knowing God, but Satan wants to lead you away from God's best for your life. Do not listen to him!
Romans 12:21 "Do not be oversome by evil, but oversome evil with good."

Did this devotional tonight with our kids. We the following activity. We had two bowls..one labeled "good" and one labeled "evil". We divided into two teams. The "good" team wrote things that were good on slips of paper. The "evil" team wrote things that were evil on slips of paper. We went through the slips in random order and asked the group which bowl they belonged in....good or evil. Some were easy to identify....then I threw in my own like..abortion, homosexualtiy, killing in war/battle, self defense, lying to protect the innocent, breaking the law to not go against God's law, etc. Great discussion of how distinguishing between good and evil can be difficult and isn't always obvious. The more we know the Word, the easier to tell good from evil.
