C. S. Lewis
"What makes contact with wicked people so
difficult is that to handle the situation successfully requires
not merely good intentions, even with humility and courage
thrown in; it may call for social and even intellectual talents
which God has not given us. It is therefore not
self-righteousness but mere prudence to avoid it when we can.
The Psalmists were not quite wrong when they described the
good man as avoiding 'the seat of the scornful' and fearing
to consort with the ungodly lest he should 'eat of' (shall
we say, laugh at, admire, approve, justify?) 'such things as
please them.' As usual in their attitude, with all its
dangers, there is a core of very good sense. 'Lead us not
into temptation' often means, among other things, 'Deny me
those gratifying invitations, those highly interesting
contacts, that participation in the brilliant movements of our
age, which I so often, at such risk, desire.'
SoAmazing Review:
C. S. Lewis utilizes his impressive intellect to tackle the
ordinary afflictions of sin that we all struggle with.

"When people create their own religion, they create gods and
goddesses in their own image. The ancient gods of mythology
had limited powers, were subject to human interference, and
displayed all the human weaknesses and vices. And the New Age
god, who is little more than a warm feeling within or at worst
a dabbling in occult powers, is merely a ratification of
whatever the human ego wants." Charles Colson, Nancy Pearcey, p. 271,
