Sunday May 28, 2023

IN THIS REPEAT: A reminder of my 3rd episode of "200 Seconds in Hell" that is about humility.

Practicing humility can be a very humbling experience, one that might just lead to pride! At least that's what Wormwood is partly told he should try to make happen with his patient in The Screwtape Letters. In this third episode of "200 Seconds in Hell with C.S. Lewis" you'll be reminded about some of the ways the devils try to twist humility to make it a weapon for their gain.

(Re-Post) 200 Seconds in Hell with C.S. Lewis Episode 5

Friday Mar 26, 2021

IN THIS REPEAT: The 5th episode of 200 Seconds series to encourage you to read The Screwtape Letters.

Democracy is a very important word here on Earth and in Hell. So much so, that the devils want to create confusion about what the word actually means. That's why their philological department is hard at work to keep the real meaning out of our minds. When you listen to the fifth episode of "200 Seconds in Hell with C.S. Lewis" you'll learn some of what Screwtape thinks about how the practical meaning of democracy can be twisted.

(Re-Post) 200 Seconds in Hell with C.S. Lewis Episode 4

Tuesday Mar 23, 2021

IN THIS REPEAT: The forth episode of my short-term series that encourages you to read The Screwtape Letters.

Do words matter? Of course they do! That's why Screwtape tells Wormwood to either suggest more negative sounding terms or expressions that people associate with things they don't like. Words like "complacency," "unselfishness" and "Puritanical" are help for Hell's purposes. In this four episode of "200 Seconds in Hell with C.S. Lewis" you'll be reminded about some of the ways the devils try to twist words to make it a weapon for their gain.
