About this episode
On the one hand, our secular overlords insist that the material world is all there is. There is no God, no devil, no angels, no demons, nothing but atoms and the void. It is the ancient rebellion of mankind, dressed up in new clothes. He will either worship the transcendent, triune God who created him, or he will worship some part of the creation. And when a man turns from the Creator, he does not find enlightened autonomy. He finds himself bowing down to things lower than himself, whether that is a block of wood, the stars in the sky, or the whispers of a familiar spirit. The book of Leviticus, and particularly this section which is part of the Holiness Code, is God's gracious instruction to His covenant people on how to be sane in an insane world.
