“And now we know what it feels like for the Jinn,” said Edmund with a chuckle. “Golly! It’s a bit uncomfortable to know that we can be whistled for like that. It’s worse than what Father says about living at the mercy of the telephone.”

Francis Schaeffer, (unintentionally) providing evangelicals with a diagnostic tool for assessing their political engagement (let the reader understand):

In this war [i.e., the spiritual battle between God/Satan, good/evil], if Christians win a battle by using worldly means, they have really lost. On the other hand, when we seem to lose a battle while waiting on God, in reality we have won. The world may mistakenly say, “They have lost.” But if God’s people seem to be beaten in a specific battle, not because of sin or lack of commitment or lack of prayer or lack of paying a price but because they have waited on God and refused to resort to the flesh, then they have won.
