​Being ignorant of evil can have significant consequences for individuals and society as a whole. Here are some reasons why it is important not to be ignorant of evil:

​It is important to note that while it is essential not to be ignorant of evil, it is equally important to avoid becoming consumed by negativity or falling into despair; This is where Jesus is proven "Good News". Knowledge about evil should be used constructively to promote positive change, understanding, empathy and a tool to help bring people to Jesus. Education, open dialogue, and a commitment to ethical principles is what Christianity is all about. Addressing and mitigating the impact of evil in the world is the great commission! Jesus gave to us when he said: 

​The psychology of evil is a field of study that examines the underlying factors and processes that contribute to individuals engaging in harmful, malicious, or destructive behaviors. It seeks to understand why some people commit acts that cause harm to others and how various psychological, social, and situational factors may influence these behaviors.

Several key concepts and theories are often explored within the psychology of evil:

The psychology of evil is a multifaceted and challenging field of study; no single factor can fully account for all instances of harmful behavior. The term "evil" is a morally and culturally loaded concept, and the understanding of what constitutes evil may vary across different societies and belief systems. As believers in Christ we are not to be ignorant of "evil schemes" so we can shine light on the causes and prevention of evil to a lost, blind and hurting world. Jesus is the good news and the Savior we all need.

In the Bible, "work" is often described as labor or productive activity that involves physical or mental effort. It is viewed as a meaningful and essential part of human existence, with various passages emphasizing the value of diligence, responsibility, and the use of one's talents and skills for the greater good. The concept of work is mentioned throughout different books in the Bible, such as in Genesis, where it is associated with the act of creation, and in the New Testament, where the Apostle Paul speaks about working diligently and honestly. The Bible encourages people to approach their work with integrity and dedication, recognizing it as a way to honor God and be His hands and feet here on earth.

Biblical “rest” is a period of rejuvenation, refreshment, and cessation from work. Knowing how to rest is important for our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Biblical “rest” is interwoven into the fabric of life. The Sabbath Day, is described in the Old Testament (Exodus 20:8-11), as a time to cease regular work and focus on spiritual reflection and worship; The Sabbatical Year (Exodus 23:10-11) emphasizes the importance of allowing the land to rest and recover its fertility; The Jubilee Year (Leviticus 25:8-13) symbolizes by the liberation of slaves and the return of land to its original owners; and perpetually ordained feasts and festivals, like the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) is a joyful occasion marked by camping outdoors and giving people a break from their usual routines (Leviticus 23:39-43). These examples highlight the importance of establishing a routine for rest, reflection, worship, and rejuvenation. 

Here are seven activities Christians can enjoy when they rest from work:

In the New Testament, Jesus invites people to find rest in Him (Matthew 11:28-30). He offers solace to those who are weary and burdened, promising rest for their souls through faith and trust in Him. Resting from work is crucial for our overall well-being and productivity. Physically and mentally, taking time to rest allows our bodies and minds to recover, reducing stress and fatigue. It enhances our ability to focus, be creative, and solve problems effectively. 

Resting fosters better relationships with loved ones, provides opportunities for spiritual and emotional renewal, and promotes a healthy work-life balance. By avoiding burnout and cultivating “rest”, we can lead more fulfilling and productive lives, both personally and professionally, while maintaining a sense of happiness and satisfaction in the Lord. Establishing a routine for rest supports our physical health, mental clarity, and emotional resilience, while also fueling our productivity, creativity, and relationships. Embracing moments of rest allows us to bring our best selves to the world around us and bring glory to God in our daily life.
