Morning & Evening

I will love them freely. — Hosea 14:4 This sentence is a body of divinity in miniature. He who understands its meaning is a theologian, and he who can dive into its fulness is a true master in Israel. It is a condensation of the glorious message of salvation which was delivered to us in…

Human Pain (Part 2)

C. S. Lewis We therefore agree with Aristotle that what is intrinsically right may well be agreeable, and that the better a man is the more he will like it; but we agree with Kant so far as to say that there is one right act — that of self-surrender — which cannot be willed…

Human Pain (Part 1)

C. S. Lewis Since the life of Christ is every way most bitter to nature and the Self and the Me (for in the true life of Christ, the Self and the Me and nature must be forsaken and lost and die altogether), therefore in each of us, nature hath a horror of it.Theologia Germanica,…

Grow up into him in all things. — Ephesians 4:15 Many Christians remain stunted and dwarfed in spiritual things, so as to present the same appearance year after year. No up-springing of advanced and refined feeling is manifest in them. They exist but do not “grow up into him in all things.” But should we…

Screwtape Proposes a Toast

C. S. Lewis Part 2 The feeling I mean is of course that which prompts a man to say I’m as good as you. The first and most obvious advantage is that you thus induce him to enthrone at the centre of his life a good, solid resounding lie. I don’t mean merely that his…

Screwtape Proposes A Toast

C. S. Lewis Part 1 I was often asked or advised to add to the original ‘Screwtape Letters’, but for many years I felt not the least inclination to do it. Though I had never written anything more easily, I never wrote with less enjoyment. The ease came, no doubt, from the fact that the…

AM I A SOLDIER OF THE CROSS?

Amazing Grace Isaac Watts, 1674–1748 Endure hardship with us like a good solder of Christ Jesus.

It has been estimated that…
