a sunday thought

"Do not expect the world’s solutions
to the world’s problems to be very effective.
Such solutions often resemble what C. S. Lewis
wrote about those who go dashing back and forth
with fire extinguishers in times of flood
(see The Screwtape Letters [1959], 117–18).
Only the gospel is constantly relevant,
and the substitute things won’t work."
--Neal A. Maxwell

This is one of my most favorite talks ever. I have a podcast of it and every now and then when I need a little pick-me-up I will listen to it.
