    In Mark 5:1–20, Jesus enters Gentile territory, confronts a man possessed by a legion of demons, and drives them out. The result: a restored life and a clear choice—keep comfort or welcome Christ’s freeing authority.

    You know, it's funny how our culture deals with the idea of demons and spiritual evil. We kind of swing between two extremes, don't we? On one hand, you've got people who roll their eyes at anything supernatural. "Demons? Come on, that's just ancient superstition!" Then on ...read more
