The following is from one of our volunteers 阿中.
I'm reading through C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters, as recommended by AFC Vancouver.
It's a good, satirical book. And as with all good satire, it has harsh truths that are illuminated through its irony.
The book is especially powerful in its narrative voice.
I've just finished the 8th letter, and I'm simply blown away by the devil Screwtape's explanation regarding God's withdrawl from man's spiritual life. Quote:
Hmm.... Stay strong.

"He cannot 'tempt' to virtue as we do to vice. He wants them to learn to walk and must therefore take away His hand; and if only the will to walk is really there He is pleased even with their stumbles. Do not be deceived, Wormwood. Our cause is never more in danger than when a human, no longer desiring, but still intending, to do our Enemy's will, looks round upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys."
Hmm.... Stay strong.
