Light of Glory, Shadow of Evil

“Evil isn't a thing with its own power. It is a no thing, a nothing. It's a parasite. It's a distortion of the good. And in God's divine wisdom, he has given you and I the power and the authority to do something about it. Understand, picture evil like a shadow that's cast by a bonfire, real enough to actually make you afraid, but it only exists because the light was there first. See, evil is a no thing or a negation of being, a rebellion against the glory of God woven into the cosmos. Humanity and the fallen angels using their God-given freedom to say no to love, twisting the gift of our freed will into pride and greed and destruction, that's what brings this evil about.” Bill Vanderbush
