Why Don’t Churches Talk More About Angels and Demons?

Episode 5 Show Notes

From the Show

We have spiritual scoliosis. We are born into the world turned in on ourselves so that we can’t look up to God in faith and out to our neighbors in love. But the gospel changes this. It draws us out of ourselves to look up to God in faith and out to our neighbors in love. It’s safe to come out now. We find a generous and merciful Father instead of a terrifying judge, and even our enemies turn out to be gifts as well as objects of our respect for the sake of Christ.
—Michael Horton
