An Open Letter Regarding Closed Churches

An Open Letter Regarding Closed Churches - lewrockwell.com

Excerpt from this article:

Note: If you have not read C.S. Lewis' great book, The Screwtape Letters, some of this article won't make sense. Let me bring you up to speed. Lewis wrote a fictional account of 2 demons discussing how they can stop the work of our Lord Jesus and his church on this earth. The Junior demon (Screwtape) is asking advice from the more senior demon, who is more than willing to share his 'worldly wisdom.'

Let's cut to the chase. What is the one thing Satan and his demons would like to accomplish in 2020? Get Christians to stop going to church! With that as an introduction, please read the rest of this article, and, perhaps, consider reading The Screw Tape Letters as well.

Here is a short excerpt from this article:

"Which brings me to our greatest triumph: closing the churches! And that when humanity most needs the gospel, too. Panicked and anguished souls can no longer find solace in the Enemy's House"

(Note: In Lewis' book, our Lord Jesus is the "enemy" of Satan and his demons)

"...Nor need we dread another of those peculiarly American 'revivals' such as hindered our endeavors during earth's twentieth century: Christians now obediently shun even the smallest gatherings."
