a thunk for your thinker

CS Lewis and I had a ramble last night after a whole day of studying and he hit me in the forhead as he began talking about how satan gets christians concerned about the wrong things. It seems that very often in the church we are put at odds with each other over trivial errors in the faith and its application. Lewis explains:

"I feel a strong desire to tell you-- and I expect you feel a strong desire to tell me-- which of these two errors is the worse. That is the devil getting at us. He always sends errors into the world in pairs--pairs of opposites. And he always encourages us to spend a lot of time thinking which is the worse. You see why of course? He relies on your extra dislike of the one error to draw you gradually into the opposite one. But do not let us be fooled. We have to keep our eyes on the goal and go straight through between both errors. We have no other concern than that with either of them."

Let your heart chew on that one for a minute, and realize the incredible love of God, who continues to pursue us even though our free will causes us to stray every day. ...Who follows us deep into those crevices, where by backing away from the cliff we are entering a deep, dark cave. He patiently watches us travel horizontally, piously avoiding the worst of two evils, and all the time He is calling us from above, and waiting for us to stop and listen.

Praise be to our Father, who gave his life for us and calls us only to put our feet in His hands.
Blessings,
