About this episode
We live in an age that has forgotten the concept of ownership. Modern man struts about as though he is an autonomous creature, a self-made man, a little god who gets to define his own reality, his own morality, and his own identity. He believes he owns himself, and therefore owes nothing to anyone, least of all to the God he has tried so hard to forget. This is the fundamental truth that undergirds everything else. If you get this wrong, you get everything wrong. The conflict between the City of God and the City of Man is, at its root, a property dispute. The world, the flesh, and the devil all conspire to tell you that you are your own, that your children are your own, that your property is your own, and that you may do with it all as you please.
