Masks & the Mark of the Beast Is there any connection between masks and the mark of the beast? How should we read Revelation in our current time with Covid-19 Coronavirus and all the culture war chaos? What is the biggest threat to our society, is it big tech or internal political fighting? What role should the supreme court play in our lives, and what is the deal with the court ruling against Michigan's governer Gretchen Whitmer? All this an more in pastoral response to questions of life.

What happens when the sciences are emotionalized and mythologized? People are hardwired to be religious, to have a moral code defining good and evil with which they navigate the world. What happens when people, in attempt to avoid superstition, start to allow these natural and complex processes to creep into the sciences without the true God of creation on the throne? We find, as CS Lewis and GK Chesterton both noticed, that people will start to fight for nameless religions that are crooked and chaotic. This is the world of the materialist magician, and this is tearing apart western civilization and America. Join us in examining the Screwtape Letters.

Make Believe Hatred (Screwtape Letters) Who are your enemies? How many times have you actually interacted with them? What is the difference between what our mind thinks about people and how we have actually interacted with them? Often our world is filled with make believe hatred and love. God wants us to have real love, and engage in the reality as it is. We discuss the Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis.

Death of Virtue (Screwtape Letters) Would you rather be virtuous or feel virtuous? People are largely kept from being virtuous by paying attention to their feelings and emotions of virtue, rather than putting in the hard work and patient discipline of actually doing virtuous things. This is part of our continuation of the study of CS Lewis' Screwtape Letters.

What is Real? (Screwtape Letters) Disagreeing people will be certain that one another's hatred is real; meanwhile, they will also be certain that someone's love is false in a moment of generosity. Often we associate what is "real" with what is familiar and what our emotions tell us. Yet, there is something deeper that we need to learn if we are to be free of temptation and truly exemplify Christlike love.

The Devil Hates Debate (Screwtape Letters) The forces of darkness hate debate, not because they are incapable of twisting truth, but because they know they it is more powerful to conceal truth. To even open the floor to debate truth awakens an opportunity for people to see truth, which belongs to God. Join us as we discuss CS Lewis' work in The Screwtape Letters, which are a letters from Screwtape, a demon in hell, giving advice to his nephew Wormwood on how to better tempt people.
