C.S. Lewis quotes
"Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing yet had
been done."
"Faith is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted in
spite of your changing moods."
"I want deliberately to encourage this mighty longing after God. The lack of it
has brought us to our present low estate. The stiff and wooden quality about
our religious lives is a result of our lack of holy desire. Complacency is a
deadly foe of all spiritual growth. Acute desire must be present or there will
be no manifestation of Christ to His people. He waits to be wanted. Too bad
that with many of us He waits so long, so very long, in vain."
"The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that
God will make us good because He loves us; just as the roof of a sunhouse does
not attract the sun because it is bright, but becomes bright because the son
shines on it."
"He Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our
spirits were designed to feed on. There is no other."
"When you are arguing against Him, you are arguing against the very power that
makes you able to argue at all."
"God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in
our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world".
"I am perfectly convinced that whatever the gospels are they are not legends.
I have read a great deal of legend and I am quite clear they are not that sort
of thing....Christ bent down and scribbled in the dust with His finger.
Nothing comes of this. No one has based any doctrine on it. And the act of
inventing little irrelevant details to make an imaginary scene more convincing
is purely a modern art."
