Lost At Sea
I am reading CS Lewis's Mere Christianity again. Lewis is my favorite Christian author. He has an unbelievable ability to take a complex idea and paint a picture of the idea with words. One section of the book is on Christian behavior. He talks about categories of behaviors and describes the categories this way. Imagine a fleet of ships on a mission. In order for the mission to be successful, the ships must travel in formation so as not to run into each other. Also, each ship needs to be in proper running order so as not to break down. Some behaviors have to do with not harming someone else. Other behaviors have to do with taking care of yourself. You must have both for a successful mission. But there is a third thing over and above these two. The ships must be headed for the correct destination. The ships can operate perfectly, and in perfect formation, but if their destination is New York and they end up in Miami, their mission is a failure. What is your destination?
