Focus on the Family is putting together an audio production of C.S. Lewis’ classic book, The Screwtape Letters. If you are not familiar with the book, you should hop over to Westminster Books and pick up a copy. It is the story of several “conversations” between an elder demon and his nephew. What Lewis reveals in this book is the nature of human beings. Yes, demons are real and working in ways we cannot perceive. But I believe one of the fundamental points of Lewis’ book is not to peak into the nature of demons but to reveal to us the types of snares and traps we walk into based on the nature of who we are. Simply put…this book is brilliant.
I don’t listen to a lot of audio books or productions (a habit I’m looking to change) so I’m not an expert on such things. However, this production looks to be extremely well done. Focus on the Family has cast Andy Serkis (the voice of Gollum in The Lord of the Rings Triology) as Screwtape, the elder demon. You can learn more by checking out the official website.

I always find it helpful and encouraging to hear how others grow their love for Jesus. Matt Chandler’s word about watching his affections is something we all could benefit from hearing. As Jesus says, “For where your treasure is, there you heart will be also.” (Matt. 6:21)

The gospel is divisive. It requires our greatest and primary loyalty. We must love Christ more than we love the closest person to us on this earth. Our reward and hope for such loyalty is eternal life. No matter how isolated or persecuted we are because of the gospel, our eternity is secure in the hands of Christ.
Matthew 10:34-42 (ESV)
34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household. 37 Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
40 “Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. 41 The one who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and the one who receives a righteous person because he is a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward. 42 And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.”
