9-1-1. President Bush's speech that God is not neutral when it comes to good and evil. Amazingly, it's a biblical principle.
Ephesians 5:6-14 (New Living Translation)
6 Don’t be fooled by those who try to excuse these sins, for the anger of God will fall on all who disobey him. 7 Don’t participate in the things these people do. 8 For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! 9 For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true.
10 Carefully determine what pleases the Lord. 11 Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them. 12 It is shameful even to talk about the things that ungodly people do in secret. 13 But their evil intentions will be exposed when the light shines on them, 14 for the light makes everything visible. This is why it is said,
“Awake, O sleeper,
rise up from the dead,
and Christ will give you light.”
An apartment complex I used to own, had a high crime rate until we put up floodlights, like magic, once exposed to the light, crime moved to another dark location. When we allow the Spirit of God to infiltrate all the dark places in our lives, our sin nature has a difficult time taking root.
