UTTER … HOPE (MARANA THA, REV. 22:20)
'Some people walk about with their head in the clouds. Others walk about with their head in the sand. The church is called to be neither. Not the fanaticism of those who have mentally left the planet, nor the complacency of those buried in the present age. But a people who live fully and faithfully in the present—with hearts genuinely oriented toward the future.'

A phenomenal 918-page-long sci-fi sojourn with deep philosophical and theological underpinnings. Can’t believe I hadn’t read this sooner. Lewis is a genius. |

“When we image borders, we fail at imaging God.”

“If at first you don’t succeed, then maybe you have the wrong idea of success, or you’re using the wrong standard of measuring it.”

“we will never be truly capable of ‘loving our neighbour’ as long as we continue to view the people around us as commodities, capital or competition”

“We place this huge burden on answers to function as finish lines, when they more naturally perform as milestones. We fool ourselves if we believe that answers are the proper response to questions, when the formal acknowledgment of a question is to embrace its invitation to enter into the journey of learning.”

“Experiencing something of the grace of God should always cause our self-perceived ideas about 'Who He is' and 'How He works' to pop.”
― Love: Expressed

“To still seek God after discovering Him may be a love paradox of the soul, as A.W. Tozer reminds us; but to earnestly continue to perceive God and make Him perceivable, is the quintessence of worship.”

“I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound or stab us. If the book we're reading doesn't wake us up with a blow to the head, what are we reading for? So that it will make us happy, as you write? Good Lord, we would be happy precisely if we had no books, and the kind of books that make us happy are the kind we could write ourselves if we had to. But we need books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us. That is my belief.”
