This Sunday, we will be discussing the rest of chapter 7, Book 3, and chapters 8 and 9. Chapter 7 deals with forgiveness, chapter 8 with what Lewis calls the "great sin", and chapter 9 with charity. Since we have decided to keep things going a little slower, I will try to keep everyone updated as to what sections we will be dealing with each Sunday.
I think we should all be really thinking about how we feel with this statement of Lewis' in chapter 8:
"According to Christian teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride. Unchastity, anger, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere fleabites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind."
Try to highlight some of the text in these chapters that you would like to discuss and maybe we should all be thinking about how Pride affects us and our relationship with God.
