"In each of three separate books within the acclaimed Chronicles - TopicsExpress



          

"In each of three separate books within the acclaimed Chronicles of Narnia series, C. S. Lewis’ characters make the observation that “Aslan is not a tame lion.”2 Mr. Lewis’s metaphor is quite accurate, of course. Our God is not tame; he does not answer to us (Daniel 4:35; Isaiah 40:13–14), nor is he our servant or our butler. These basic facts appear to be lost in today’s church, where it seems normal for most Christians to casually believe that God indeed does our bidding. Moreover, very few are willing to dispute the common notions that “God is a gentleman” and “God will not interfere with a person’s free will.” While we may stop short of joining those who teach that humans may indeed become gods, we nonetheless embrace doctrines and teachings that strip sovereignty from God and hand it over to humans, thereby coming dangerously close to elevating the created above the Creator."
