The Bible recounts the story of the Gerasene demoniac, a man possessed by 1,000 demons that controlled the man in a downward destructive path. His life was a waste. But Jesus cast the demons out and the man’s life was changed…dramatically so (Mark 5:1-20).
But what does that have to do with you living in the 21th Century?
C. S. Lewis, author of the Chronicles of Narnia, once wrote that he examined his own life and “found what appalled me: a zoo of lust, a bedlam of ambitions, a nursery of fears, a harem of fondled hatreds. My name was Legion.”
Only when we examine our lives and discover what we really are can we bow before Jesus and allow Him to cast out whatever may possess us”. Believe me, I’ve been there.

Christian author C. S. Lewis wrote, “Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition, when infinite joy is offered to us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in the slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”
Do you agree or disagree with Lewis? Are Christians settling for far too little. Are we too easily pleased?
