The Devil Made Me Do It! - Orthodoxy Ch.2h

In this Midweek Refuel, Pastor John L. Widdifield unpacks G.K. Chesterton’s timeless insight from Orthodoxy Ch.2h — where a man in a padded room thinks he’s a poached egg — and shows how it perfectly describes today’s culture. From philosophical determinism to materialistic fatalism, we explore how modern thought chains the human spirit, strips away will, and dehumanizes us. Along the way, we confront the absurdities: turtle eggs protected while unborn children are not, bald eagle eggs valued more than human life, and a culture that calls chains “freedom.”
Discover how Chesterton, Nietzsche, and Scripture all point to the same truth: without God, morality becomes preference, sacrifice becomes foolishness, and cruelty becomes just another option.
