The Devil We Refuse to See By Rod Dreher l Exorcism l Supernatural Instances l Finding God l Finding Faith - Beliefnet.com: "The Devil We Refuse to See
History, reason, and common sense demonstrate the dangers of seeing demons everywhere. We moderns don’t, however, appreciate the danger of refusing to see demons anywhere."

Yes, there is a spiritual world and a physical world and the spiritual world can have a direct influence on the physical world.

The heresy of worshiptainment | Mike Livingstone

The heresy of worshiptainment | Mike Livingstone : "More recently, David Platt has asked: “What if we take away the cool music and the cushioned chairs? What if the screens are gone and the stage is no longer decorated? What if the air conditioning is off and the comforts are removed? Would His Word still be enough for his people to come together?” (Radical)"
