For the Supernatural, entering a human soul opens to it new possibilities both of good and evil. From that point the road branches: one way to sanctity, humility, the other to spiritual pride, self-righteousness, persecuting zeal. And no way back to the mere humdrum virtues of the unawakened soul. If the Divine call does not make us better, it will make us very much worse. Of all bad men, religious bad men are the worst.
Leanne Payne, Restoring the Christian Soul, p144, quoting C. S. Lewis from Reflections of the Psalms.
