As True Believers a part of our lives necessarily will be to expose the evil deeds of darkness. Nobody enjoys doing such things but there are times that we need to do them for the Lord’s Glory and Testimony. The Bible clearly tells us how to live in all spheres of life: Government, Church, Workplace, Home, and even place of Education. All these spheres are taught about in the Word of God. When we come across evil deeds of darkness that need exposing we should not do this angrily but prayerfully and in consultation with our Spiritual Leaders.
