Welcome to Among the Lillies. This is a show for ladies who are tired of pretending

and are ready to be real. I'm your host, Cameron Fred. And it is good to be back with you.

Yeah, I really was just thinking and praying about what to talk to y'all about. I have an interview that I did.

That's amazing. That should be coming out most likely next week. But I think we need to recognize evil.

We need to call evil what it is. Call evil evil. I think that sometimes Matt and I just watched a movie called Rope.

Is that right Matt? Hitchcock. I offered a Hitchcock rope. If you haven't seen it, you should see it. But it was really good.

But like very suspenseful. And basically the long long short of it is a guy that thinks if you are an inferior intellectual being,

it's okay for you to perhaps commit murder for someone that's lesser than you.

And I don't know, it was just really interesting. I think sometimes we recognize sin. And evil, I feel like we're,

we have a hard time recognizing evil or calling things evil. Like I think certain things were like, oh yeah, like murder is evil.

But then it gets complicated if it's, if someone dies in self-defense and things like that. But like we're, we're okay saying yes, murder is, is evil.

Adultery is evil. Stealing like going in, robbing a place, holding it up at gunpoint, evil. Wrong.

And I think it's very, we're very black and white and we can see that clearly. But I think sometimes we need to be more aware of ourselves, right?

And what we're doing. And sometimes I think we let evil come in and we let evil lurk. And I'm just as guilty as anyone else.

I've talked about it before with, with lies that we believe about ourselves, right? And those negative self-talks, I think as women, we tend to suffer from this more than men with the exception of maybe a melancholic man.

I think melancholic is especially so if you're melancholic female, I'm sorry, you probably have a lot of negative self-talk that goes on and you really need a nip it in the bud.

But I think like that's evil. It's evil when we listen to the Prince of Lies and we let him whisper lies in our hearts and in our minds. And we need to recognize it and say, no, no, that is a lie. I'm not going to believe it.

And cast it aside, right? I overheard my son playing with a friend of his and they were talking about whether or not we would have clothes in heaven. And my son's like, pretty sure we don't have clothes in heaven.

And the other little boys like, I think we wear white robes. And so we started chatting. And I was like, well, I'm like, what would we like in the garden in the beginning before Sin entered the world? Like we were naked and not ashamed, right? And they're like, oh yeah. And I was like, and then, you know what happened? The serpent came in and Eve ate the apple, right? Eve ate the fruit, right? What was the fruit? Okay, it's the tree of knowledge. So we know between good and evil. And what happened? We listened to that, right?

And we believe that first lie, we could be powerful and strong like the Lord. And we could be gods ourselves. And I think sometimes we, um, we think that about ourselves in this, in this movie, if you haven't seen it, you should totally see it. But in the end, the, um, basically long story short, it's, it's like you aren't God. Like are you trying to be God? Like who's to say that you are inferior and superior to this person? And this person's life means nothing. And yours means everything.

And it's okay for you to, I don't know, look down upon this person, speak bad about them. Obviously murder. Like I think we're okay in saying, yeah, no, murder's wrong. Like never go that far.

But I think we sometimes look down on people or say things, um, or judge them in our minds or in our hearts.
