Well Said

From my quote journal.

Time and freedom are the raw material of life because time is the realm of human choice. [Georges] Bernanos reminds us that the Antichrist wants us to think that freedom really doesn't exist, because when we fail to choose, when we slide through life, we in effect chose for him. Time is the Devil's enemy. He lives neither in the eternity of God nor in the realm of man. Satan has made his choice against God and he is forever fixed in that choice. But as long as man lives in time, which is the realm of change, man may still choose in favor of God. And, of course, God is always offering the help of his grace to do just that. If the Devil can sell us the idea that history is a single, determined mechanism; if humanity's freedom of will can be forgotten or denied; then man will drift and the Antichrist will win.
