Amerika: Follow-up articles.
I just ran across some interesting articles in the back issues of Christian Counter Culture that tie into to my last post. I haven't gotten through them all, but take a look here.
God is not content to leave the believer as he is, pursuing idols that can never satisfy. It is a severe mercy that he would remove temporal, idolatrous happiness to make us more holy. Severe- because refining fire must burn out things which we hold dear. Mercy- because we are made more like the Son and more free to worship and delight in our God. - C.S. Lewis, A Severe Mercy
