Believe it or not we could learn
a lot from evil people. Look at how zealously they serve there god, Satan and
look at in comparison how apathetic we serve the true God. Consider the words from
Living Zealously by Joel Beeke and James A. La Belle
We should be motivated by people
who are violent ways of sin, lest they serve Satan better than we serve God.
People of this world are industrious, vigorous, and resolute in the ways of
sin, while we are negligent, cold, and inconstant in the service of righteousness.
They disregard all reproofs and counsel, they grieve friends and relatives who
stand in their way they readily venture into great dangers, they waste their
wealth, macerate their bodies, and in the end die martyrs to lust and sin. They
are zealous in following the way to hell, while many of us are sluggish on the
path to heaven. They break bone and body for hell, while we are afraid to break
flesh and skin for glory.
You have to give evil people
credit they love what they do and they do it well. What about the Christian?
But let's face it, sheep aren't very exciting... Keep our eyes on the Shepherd!
