C.S. Lewis from The Screwtape Letters on how politics can divert a Christian. “As long as activism matters more to him than genuine religious practices, he’s in our grip. And the more he prioritizes those worldly causes under the guise of being ‘religious,’ the better.”

I love that on the 1st Pentecost Sunday, it is the Apostle Peter who preaches. This same Peter had just denied Jesus a few weeks earlier. The Holy Spirit is not a reward for good behavior & unwavering faith. The Holy Spirit is a gift to those who turn to Jesus & wait on him.
