Pick any country. Pick and city, town, or hamlet. Select any household or dwelling where two or more people live. What will you find? Conflict.

When you have division in a single household or family, why is it surprising that you have wars and subversive movements being waged all around the world?

Who or what is behind that conflict?

Decades ago, there was a hit song: Alfie. Some of the lyrics asked rhetorical but important questions.

'What's it all about, Alfie?' 'Is it just for the moment that we live?'

Hold those thoughts.

Dave Durand in a consultant and speaker. Durand is currently the CEO of Leading Giants and Executive Chairman of Best Version Media, an international media company located in Brookfield, Wisconsin. Durand was recently saying in an interview on Relevant Radio that some people don't care if they are right or wrong on some issue.

  • 'I've got my video games. I'm good.'

That same pattern Durand mentioned plays out in several ways. Some other examples.

  • 'I've got my social media. I'm good.'
  • Or 'I've got my porn, I'm good.'
  • 'I've got my drugs, alcohol, comfort food, I'm good.'
  • 'I've got my streaming system; I can binge watch TV. I'm good.'

Various distractions or addictions are a symptom of the deeper problem.

Various conflicts and wars are a symptom of the problem.

Democrats vs. Republicans. They too are a mere symptom of the REAL problem.

What is the root cause of division? Division within a person? Within a soul? Division between couples? Splits within a family? Splits between believers? Division between agnostics and athiests? Division in a nation or between countries?

It can be summed up in a few words that strike near the heart of the true meaning and purpose of life and what goes wrong when we stray from that meaning and purpose.

Good vs. Evil.

We may know, or be, someone who has no religious belief whatsoever. Yet, EVERYONE knows that there is such a thing as Good and Evil.

They may not define it exactly the same way, yet the belief in Good vs. Evil are universal. Two words with one abbreviation.

Or three words: Good and Evil. Either way, 13 characters.

Let's dig deeper.

There is something else that is universal. Go to any place on earth. You can easily find people who want these things.

Truth. Love. Hope.

Even if we have told some half-truth or lie ourselves, on any serious topic, not many people want to be lied to, right? How did you feel that last time you realized that you had been, or were being, decieved?

Odds are, you didn't like it. Why?

Because there is a universal desire for truth.

Perhaps some mentally ill or substance-abuse addled soul may think they don't care about truth. But even those deeply troubled souls may be seeking escape from some truth that they simply don't know how or want to properly cope with.

Why am I here?

What is the meaning of my life?

What is the purpose of my life?

Am I a mere animal?

Do I exist for the moment, to fill my belly?

Is my purpose to merely seek fleeting or rapidly passing pleasures?

Does my life have some goal? Some ultimate destiny?

Poets, story tellers, theaters, screenwriters, philosophers, and everyday people have dealt with those questions for thousands of years of human history. Is that merely a coincidence?

In a sense, I was fortunate. Not that my life has been easy. Easier than some, harder than others. But I was fortunate because I was born into a home where people thought! Where people discussed the great issues of life in a deep and meaningful way.

And I'm sharing those ways with you. I've never asked for a dime from you, nor do I have any plans to do so. I have been given certain gifts, but you can rest assured that you have your gifts too.

We all have gifts.

Those gifts are all unique. Properly used, each gift in each person that has ever lived or will ever live is beautiful. In sharing what I've learned, I hope to be like that famous saying, it is better to light one candle that it is to curse the darkness.

The conflicts and wars in our households, places we live, work, worship, or do stuff, those divisions are a symptom of the problem of Good vs. Evil.

Of the battle between God and the Devil.

But in the proper understanding of reality, as powerful as the Devil (Satan, Lucifer, the anti-Christ, etc.) may be, God, the Creator of All is far more powerful.

I put that paragraph above into left-leaning Google's search tab. The Gemini AI system said the following.

The idea that conflicts are a manifestation of a struggle between good and evil, with God's power ultimately surpassing the Devil's, is a central tenet of Christian theology and other monotheistic traditions. This perspective frames everyday divisions not as petty disputes but as symptoms of a cosmic spiritual battle. The nature of the cosmic struggle
  • A contrast of power and authority: In Christianity, Satan is a powerful, created being, a fallen angel with limited authority on Earth. God, the Creator, is presented as omnipotent and sovereign over all creation, including the spiritual forces of evil. The Bible illustrates Satan's subordinate position in the Book of Job, where he must ask God for permission to test Job.
  • The battle is not equal: Unlike some dualistic worldviews where good and evil forces are evenly matched, the biblical view holds that God is infinitely more powerful and will ultimately triumph. The crucifixion of Jesus is seen as a decisive victory over evil forces.
  • The Devil's strategy: Division and deception: A key tactic attributed to the Devil is creating divisions and distractions to sow discord among people. By promoting lies, fear, and pride, the Devil is thought to poison relationships and lead people away from God's intended harmony.
How the struggle is reflected in daily life This theological view provides a framework for understanding personal and communal conflicts:
  • The unseen enemy: The New Testament describes Christians as wrestling "not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness" (Ephesians 6:12, ESV). This means that behind human disagreements often lie deeper spiritual influences.
  • The weapon against division is unity: To counteract this spiritual division, Christians are called to actively foster unity and forgiveness, guided by the Holy Spirit.
  • Individual choice and spiritual warfare: Individuals have free will to choose between aligning with God or giving in to temptation. This daily choice—often seen as "spiritual warfare"—is an active way of resisting the Devil's influence.
  • The promise of ultimate victory: While the spiritual battle is ongoing, the belief system offers a promise of ultimate victory. For Christians, relying on God's power provides confidence that they can withstand Satan's attacks because the spiritual fight has already been won through Christ.
Philosophical challenges to this view While this framework offers meaning to believers, it also encounters philosophical challenges related to the problem of evil:
  • The paradox of divine power: The central question is how an all-good, all-powerful God can permit the existence of evil and suffering. Theistic traditions often respond with the "Free Will Defense," arguing that God allows the possibility of evil for the greater good of allowing creatures to possess meaningful free will.
  • A mystery, not a flaw: For many, the existence of evil remains a profound mystery, rather than a refutation of God's existence. Some theologians even argue that attempts to fully explain evil (theodicy) are a mistake, and the proper response is to struggle against it.

With God's help, your truly is just warming up, hopefully for your benefit. Or maybe for the benefit of someone you know.

We've dealt in this "Reality Check" series with an array of topics, that include evidence for God's existence.

We've used AI to validate certain points, knowing that AI is imperfect. But AI has a reasonably impressive ability to digest a lot of information in a short period of time and synthesize it.

If we ask the right questions the right way (Good In) instead of asking the wrong questions the wrong way (Garbage In), we will get Good Out (instead of Garbage Out).


Would you trade a fabulous inheritance for a bowl of lentil soup? Let's be honest. We've all done that, even if we didn't think about it that way.

https://patch.com/florida/lake...

"All have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God."

I dropped that into a Google search, and here is what Gemini AI said in the first paragraph.

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" is a Bible verse found in Romans 3:23 and it means that every person, regardless of background, has fallen short of God's perfect standard of righteousness and holiness. The phrase "fall short of God's glory" refers to a lack of perfect reflection of God's holiness and righteousness, which is the consequence of sin. This universal sinfulness means that all humanity, apart from Christ, is condemned and separated from God, highlighting the need for a savior.

As that article linked here and above about lentil stew explained, we are all sons and daughters of God, the Creator of all things.

There is good.

There is evil.

There are purposes and meaning to this life.

God gave us free will.

We can choose to fritter away our time on all sorts of distractions, pleasures, and pain killers.

Or...

Or, we can decide to seek the truth, seek the love, seek the hopeful reality that reveals the source of all conflict.

Unity in truth. Unity in love. Those are the ways to solve conflicts.

Politicians can help or harm that process. But politicians can't solve the world's ills. They never have.

Many politicians never will.

Business people can sell us products or services. They may be ethical or unethical. We may need some of those products and services.

But no business can sell us God. No business can sell us happiness. No business can sell us the key to the road of eternal life.

ICYMI, check out that article liked here and above.

Check out others in this "Reality Check" series that are about questions of faith and the reality that God exists, that the Creator of all loves you, and that the Devilish Satan hates you. As part of his rebellion against God, the devil wants to trick you with empty half-truths and promises not unlike what happened in the Garden of Eden not long after the dawn of human history.

God gave the first parents in humanity, Adam and Eve, only one rule to go by. Do not eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The devil tricked them with half-truths (a kind of lie or deception). Adam and Eve both ate. They broke the one rule that God had given them.

Wow.

That is called the Original Sin.

We don't just talk about religion, and philosophy here in the "Reality Check" series. I like to write about housing and other many other topics.

But if you've been following this series for the past year, then you may have sensed that there is some secret sauce for decoding the mysteries behind the various subjects that we tackle.

It isn't that I'm smarter than the next gal or guy. I've been fortunate. I was blessed. I was taught from a young age, still made mistakes, but was taught how to think and why we should believe that there is a God. God the Creator of all has our best interests in mind. No one pays me to write these columns. God has given me certain gifts, and I'm sharing some of that with you.

We have to earn a living.

We have to pay the bills.

We have to get along with family, co-workers or people that we meet.

We can pass a million laws, and they are guaranteed not to accomplish what the Ten Commandments of God could.

We have so many laws, even the lawyers do not know them all. So, there are experts in this or that kid of law.

These are all symptoms of the core problems of life. It is the battle between Good and evil. Between right and wrong. Between God and the devil.

Some, wittingly or not, pick evil. Some people pick devilish ways to undermine you, a business, a town, or a society. They may seem to have the upper hand.

But God is at work through human free will.

God didn't tell me to wake up and write this article. At least, not in so many words. I didn't go to sleep last night thinking about this topic. Perhaps there was a nudge. Some idea dropped into my mind, and when I woke up, here I am writing and sharing what are the root causes of conflicts.

I don't want to spoil it. There won't be a complete victory until the end of time. We don't know when that will be. It could be later today. It could be thousands of years from now. We do not know. Those that claim to know are at best guessing. There are books that have been written by those who were convinced that the end of time was at hand. In many cases, those books, articles, talks, etc. were dozens to hundreds of years ago.

So, my point is the same one that Jesus said. We do not know the day or the hour. We do not know when our life will come to an end.

But we ought to know what the Truth is. We ought to know why we seek love. Why we have hope. It is simple. God put those notions deep within us. We can try to ignore them. Millions do, with all sorts of distractions and pain killers.

But we can't begin to solve that pain without God's help. Not my help, God's help.

God told us that way. We have to be humble enough to listen, read, learn, and then...struggle to do.

We can't have perfect peace on earth. But we can have MORE peace on earth.

We can't have perfect joy on earth. But we can have MORE joy on earth.

We can't do many things, but we as sons and daughters of the living and loving God claim our birthright.

Near or at the core of every division in society there is a battle between Good and evil. Never forget that reality.
