Vancouver loses the NHL finals to the Boston Bruins and the Canucks “fans” riot (National Post has lots more photos):
 

 
But this wasn’t really about a hockey tournament.
 

 
Charles Colson has gained unique insight into the realities of human nature through his decades of working with prison inmates. (He founded “Prison Fellowship” in 1976.) He’s been a firsthand observer of our constant battle between good and evil, a front row witness to man’s sin…and God’s redemption:
 

In any society, only two forces hold the sinful nature in check: the restraint of conscience or the restraint of the sword. The less that citizens have of the former, the more the state must employ the latter…
 
…The only alternative to increased state control is a return to biblical realism about the human potential for evil, a bracing willingness to look evil in the eye and not flinch. Sociologists are constantly searching for the roots causes of crime and other dysfunctions in society. But the root cause has not changed since the temptation in the Garden. It is sin.
 
Charles Colson – “How Shall We Live?”

…And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. ~ Matthew 6:13 ~
