Two things jump at me with this cover of "Christianity" Today:
CS Lewis, who was not a Biblical Christian.
And...
A lit pipe.
Really?
Could CT be more worldly and fleshly? Never mind that it likely offends the conscience of many who have given up the slave of smoking or who knew someone who died of lung cancer due to smoking.
CT really lacks wisdom and discernment because they do so because they are not of Christ. They are inter-faith, lovers of anythingarianism.
Gal 5:13 For you were called to freedom, brothers.
Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love
serve one another.
1Co 8:9 But take care that this right of yours
does not somehow become a stumbling
block to the weak.
1Co 8:11 And so by your knowledge this weak person is
destroyed, the brother for whom Christ
died.12 Thus, sinning
against your brothers and wounding their conscience when it is
weak, you sin
against Christ.
1Ti 6:3 If anyone teaches a different doctrine and
does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching
that accords with godliness, 4 he is puffed up with conceit and understands
nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about
words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, 1Ti 6:5 and
constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the
truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain.
