"But Jesus rebuked him, saying, 'Be silent, and come out of him!' And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him." - Mark 1:25-26

"There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them. They themselves are equally pleased by both errors and hail a materialist or a magician with the same delight." - C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

Are there devils among us? . . . even in places of worship, where God's Word is read and preached? Our task as a Christian church is to continually re-orient ourselves to the words and life of our prophet, Jesus, while being cautiously, but not obsessively, aware of devils and deceitful teaching which would diminish our trust in Him and His Word.
