The enemy. The Devil. Satan. Lucifer. He has many names. Today people either think of him as some ridiculous, almost cartoonish creature who is meant to scare children into behaving, or as the sole agent for every major tragedy and minor inconvenience. Both conceptions are equally inaccurate and potentially harmful. In this episode, we get a more accurate picture of who the Devil is, what he's about, and why he wages an often invisible war against those seeking God. You might not believe in the Devil, but your disbelief won't halt his attacks on you. Satan hates God, God loves you, and so Satan hates and attacks you. The first step in learning to defend yourself against the enemy is knowing your enemy.
