One of the benefits and burdens of living the Christian faith in community is that we are called to bear each other’s burdens, which means that at times we must hold others accountable. The “how” and “why” of that accountability matters greatly for the restoration of a fellow believer and the relationship we have with them. (2nd Corinthians 1:23 - 2:4)

This episode of MMCS is devoted to the development of a basic demonology as presented in the Epistles of the New Testament. By looking at the testimonies of Paul, Peter, James, and John we can see how they viewed demons and the devil by pinpointing their evil work in the church and outside of it to the full scale deception of humanity...the deception of the believers and the unbelievers alike!

This discussion deviates from our expected topic of "demonology" to explore our contemporary cultural moment. America finds itself at the crossroads of an ideological and political intersection, and where it goes next can largely be decided by Christians due to the nature of our moment. Today, we discuss some of the elements and variables surrounding our current context as well as some issues and points to avoid.
