“The most hidden and safest path to hell is the slope that you descend without realizing it—smooth, comfortable, without obvious turning points, without warnings or reminders, making you think everything is normal until you finally fall.”

C.S. Lewis · Letters from Hell

Scripture

Ephesians 5:11 Do not walk with others in the fruitless things of darkness, but rather expose them;

Reflection

Lewis reminds us that the path to depravity is often not a sudden darkness, but a slow process of complacency and compromise. Today it's "not important," tomorrow it's "no big deal," and the heart gradually drifts away from the light. Ephesians 5:11 says, "Do not participate in darkness, but expose it." Christians do not live by feelings, trends, or groups, but by truth and light. The real danger is not great sin, but the gradual numbness and loss of vigilance. May I be watchful and set apart, not a follower of the crowd, but one who stands in the Lord.
