Pilgrim Soldier

While I was in the UK I borrowed a copy of Blue Like Jazz to read and thoroughly enjoyed it. I managed to read it all in just over a week, somewhat of a record at the moment.

Anyway, there were a number of things that really caught my eye which I’ll post about over the coming days. The first was the following quote:

I believe that the greatest trick of the devil is not to get us into some sort of evil but rather to have us wasting time. This is why the devil tries so hard to get Christians to be religious. If he can sink a man’s mind into habit, he will prevent his heart from engaging God.”
Donald Miller - Blue Like Jazz pg 13

This struck me as a very interesting point. Is religiosity the work of the devil? What do you think?
