“What draws people to be friends is that they see the same truth. They share it.”
― C. S. Lewis

“I didn’t go to religion to make me happy. I always knew a bottle of Port would do that. If you want a religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don’t recommend Christianity.”
― C. S. Lewis

“May 2 Numbers 6 The Nazarite was holy in three negative ways: (1) he must not touch the grape; (2) he must not cut his hair; (3) he must not touch a dead body. Were I to transopose such consecration into new testament parallels I suppose this would be the setup:

1. Grapes-- the source of natural joy--that which makes glad the heart of man. This is denying oneself the allowable pleasures for the sake of a greater holiness.

2. The long hair of man is his shame. He must let it grow so that he becomes unashamed of shame--reproach bearing for God.

3. Seperation from evil in all their doings--yea,even from family pulls (v.7).

I know little of any of these.”
