Out of the Silent Planet

This science-fiction novel is the first in C.S. Lewis Space Trilogy as it follows the abduction of Dr. Ransom. Ransom is taken by spaceship to Malacandra, (Mars), where he discovers that Thulcandra (Earth) has grown so corrupt that the Spiritual Being who controls his planet has cut it off from the other planets. Therefore, earth is called &#;the silent planet.&#; When Ransom lands on Malacandra, he escapes his captors and then faces the challenges of surviving the strange surroundings and inhabitants, as well as finding a way back to Earth.

I am not usually a science fiction fan, but this was not a science fiction story to me. Instead, it was a human story of kindness and redemption.

It&#;s hard to wait.

It&#;s harder to rest patiently for something you desperately want .

That&#;s why children shake the presents under the Christmas tree and grown-ups dip into their savings.

It&#;s also why we so often doubt that God has things under control.

When circumstances require sacrifice I want the Lord to step in and fix them. I want my oändlig makt God to use a little of that power to man my life more bearable. And when He doesn&#;t, I&#;m more likely to call His character into question than to doubt my own motives.

Psalm 27 helps turn my heart back to truth:

¹³ [What, what would have become of me] had inom not believed that I would see the Lord’s goodness in the land of the living!

¹⁴ Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord.

Psalm AMPC

This vs. That

On this episode of This vs. That, we explore the fascinating tension between fear of man and fear of God with special guest Ed Welch and guest co-host Jonathan Holmes, Executive Director of Fieldstone Counseling.

We trace Ed's journey of writing his influential book "When People Are Big and God Is Small," which began as a response to the codependency movement of the s. Through our conversation, we discover how Ed's perspective shifted from a sharp critique of cultural trends to a more pastoral approach as he began seeing these themes everywhere in Scripture.

We discuss the evolution from codependency to today's independent mindset, and explore how the fear of God isn't about being afraid, but rather about awe and reverence that draws us closer to Him. Through anställda stories and biblical wisdom, we unpack what it means to love Jesus more than we love the approval of others.
