Of course, we are to pray for spiritual awakening, and in various ways we can do something toward it. But we must remember that neither Paul nor Apollos gives the increase.
C. S. LewisThere is nothing like suspense and anxiety for barricading a human's mind against the Enemy. He wants men to be concerned with what they do; our business is to keep them thinking about what will happen to them.
C. S. LewisThe value of the myth is that it takes all the things we know and restores to them the rich significance which has been hidden by โthe veil of familiarity.โ The child enjoys his cold meat, otherwise dull to him, by pretending it is buffalo, just killed with his own bow and arrow. And the child is wise. The real meat comes back to him more savory for having been dipped in a storyโฆby putting bread, gold, horse, apple, or the very roads into a myth, we do not retreat from reality: we rediscover it.
