👿 The Devil in Our Midst with Shel Boese
2 Corinthians 11:1-15
-
This past week there was a blow up in the USA over a demonic-themed Grammy performance (Sam Smith and Kim Petras' performance of "Unholy" left some calling it a satanic ritual). Should this worry the church? Or perhaps is there a much closer Satanic influence in our midst? In 1 Corinthians, Paul speaks of idol worship. But in 2 Corinthians he says that in the church, there are those who masquerade as “Angels of Light”. CS Lewis wrote, “He (the devil) always sends errors into the world in pairs—pairs of opposites... He relies on your extra dislike of one to draw you gradually into the opposite one. But do not let us be fooled. We have to keep our eyes on the goal and go straight through between both errors. We have no other concern than that with either of them.” Sunday, we look at the devil in our midst.
