About this episode
We live in an age that has been thoroughly infected with a very old heresy. It is a spiritual disease that has seeped into the church, and it teaches us to sort our lives into two piles. This is the ancient heresy of Gnosticism, dressed up in modern overalls. It is the lie that God is intensely interested in your soul but profoundly bored by your hands. It teaches that the spiritual realm is what matters, and the material world is, at best, a necessary distraction and, at worst, a dirty prison for the soul. This sacred/secular divide is a lie from the pit. It allows a man to sing praises with gusto on Sunday morning and then do shoddy, dishonest work on Monday, feeling no contradiction. It allows the artist to believe his work is less spiritual than the pastor's.
