What God Wants Us To Do - C S Lewis

                                      

                                     What Does God Want Us To Do? By C S Lewis

"You must always believe that God is separate from the world and that some of the things we see in it are contrary to His will. 

Confronted with a cancer or a slum, the Pantheist can say, 'If you could only see it from the divine  point of view, you would realize that this is also God.'

The Christian replies, 'Don't talk damned nonsense.'

For Christianity is a fighting religion. It thinks God made the world -- that space and time, heat and cold, and all the colors and tastes, and all the animals and vegetables, are things that God 'made up out of His own head' as a man makes up a story.

But it also thinks that a great many things are gone wrong with the world, and that God insists, and insists very loudly, on our putting them right again."
