“To think of the Heavens as the great outer darkness (as our modern minds often do) is to replace Heaven with Hell. Thinking this way restructures the imaginative layout of the cosmos and changes the way we look up at the sky at night. It rejects the view of thousands of years of prophets and poets in favor of listening to science, without entertaining the idea that perhaps there are realities that are deeper than the material and that we are not yet real enough to see them.”

“It is simply no good trying to keep any thrill: that is the very worst thing you can do. Let the thrill go—let it die away—go on through that period of death into the quieter interest and happiness that follow—and you will find you are living in a world of new thrills all the time. But if you decide to make thrills your regular diet and try to prolong them artificially, they will all get weaker and weaker, and fewer and fewer, and you will be a bored, disillusioned old man for the rest of your life. It is because so few people understand this that you find many middle-aged men and women maundering about their lost youth, at the very age when new horizons ought to be appearing and new doors opening all round them. It is much better fun to learn to swim than to go on endlessly (and hopelessly) trying to get back the feeling you had when you first went paddling as a small boy.”
― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

“For years the Christian education community has used the term “biblical worldview integration” to describe efforts to teach every subject from a biblical perspective. It’s time to retire that phrase. Why? Because if the Bible is God’s special revelation for everyone, everywhere, all the time, then it isn’t something we integrate into whatever else we’re doing. It’s something we immerse ourselves in; any other truth rises out of it. God’s Word isn’t a partial truth that dovetails with other, “not-from-God” truths. God’s Word is true truth. Here’s a new way to phrase the mission of Christian education: biblical worldview immersion.”

“Sadly, I find that, for many Christians, the set of ideas that make up the cognitive dimension of their worldview resembles a junk drawer more than a well-organized silverware drawer, with every piece neatly laid out in appropriate places.”
