We need to SEE in Advent
“Among the asses (stubborn I as they) I see my Saviour where I looked for hay.” — C.S. Lewis

Living transformed lives
Today’s reading for MULTIPLY discipleship is Romans 12. This passage fits perfectly following a very powerful day at our church. We had a great missions service in the morning with a packed out house. It’s Missions Emphasis, so it’s always exciting to hear what God is doing in the toughest places of the world. We had a Prayer and Praise…

That which we do not know
One thing I admire about C.S. Lewis is his full candor when dealing with skeptics. He won’t tolerate “bumper sticker” answers from anyone, but especially those who do not believe and ridicules those who do. In his chapter on heaven in Mere Christianity, he wrote this: There is no need to be worried by facetious people who try to make the Christian hope of…

Christianity isn’t for the lazy
“If you are thinking of becoming a Christian, I warn you, you are embarking on something which is going to take the whole of you, brains and all… Anyone who is honestly trying to be a Christian will soon find his intelligence being sharpened: one of the reasons why it needs no special education to be a Christian is that…

Lewis, Mere Christianity We need to understand the true power of the Kingdom of God working through the Church. It is immense. We’ve dumbed it down and driven so…

Christianity isn’t about a search for comfort
“Of course, I quite agree that the Christian religion is, in the long run, a thing of unspeakable comfort. But it does not begin in comfort; it begins in the dismay I have been describing, and it is no use at all trying to go on to that comfort without first going through that dismay. In religion, as in war…

We settle for so little
I am working my way through The Great Divorce by C S Lewis. I’ve finished McGrath’s biography of Lewis, so reading Lewis more in historical context is slightly more helpful. I’m just not a great reader of “literature.” I love reading about Lewis, but reading Lewis is just plain slogging at times. The stories bring to life great truth. In one scene…

True love
“Love is not merely affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person’s ultimate good as far as it can be obtained.” (CS Lewis)

The beauty of solitude
We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and private: and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship. -C.S. Lewis, Weight of Glory
