"Just finished the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. It was great. I had known the story was taken from points of the Christian gospel, and only having seen the movie a dozen times, I had decided to read the book to see how exactly C.S. Lewis did so. Remembering this is only a fairytale meant for his goddaughter, there is obvious things in the story that I don't see in relation to Christian doctrine. Good read though" Feb 16, 2022 04:34AM

C.S. Lewis
“In religion, as in war and everything else, comfort is the one thing you cannot get by looking for it. If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end: if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth -- only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin with and, in the end, despair.”
C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

Andrew Murray
“Here is the path to the higher life: down, lower down! Just as water always seeks and fills the lowest place, so the moment God finds men abased and empty, His glory and power flow in to exalt and to bless.”
Andrew Murray, Humility: The Journey Toward Holiness – Classic Devotional Meditations on the Character of Christ

A.W. Tozer
“Rules for Self Discovery:
1. What we want most;
2. What we think about most;
3. How we use our money;
4. What we do with our leisure time;
5. The company we enjoy;
6. Who and what we admire;
7. What we laugh at.”
A. W. Tozer

Dean Inserra
“There is a god who loves me” is not the same as “God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah”
Dean Inserra, The Unsaved Christian: Reaching Cultural Christianity with the Gospel

C.S. Lewis
“No man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to be good.”
C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
