John Mury concludes our Back to Basics series with a discussion about faith. Is faith just a desperate attempt to find comfort in a cold, dark world? What is the biblical understanding of faith, and how does it relate to reason? Join us in our discussion as John looks at how faith is not reason’s enemy, but instead, its ally.

This week, we continue our series on C.S. Lewis’ Mere Christianity by looking at the theological virtue of charity. True, Christian charity is loving and giving to others with no strings attached—no expectation of gaining any benefit. In this, charity is truly a theological virtue, as it is not based in any of our natural impulses. Charity is founded in the reality that God is love; Jesus calls us to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. Even when we might not like ourselves, we continue to act in our best interest. God calls us to look at others through this lens.
What’s the worst sin, really? According to Christianity, the worst sin is something many consider minor, some even a virtue. The worst sin is pride. Pride swallows up all the capacity for other virtues, especially love. As we look at authentic, basic Christianity, we have to look realistically at our own hearts for the tyranny of pride. Like a slow-burning, hidden coal fire, pride can burn away in our lives, secretly destroying all that we hold dear.
