A tribute to C.S. Lewis.

If you are living and breathing you probably have noticed that a The Chronicles of Narnia is about to come to the movies. I have to admit that I didn't even read these books as a child. I have decided to go back and read these. I figure if grown adults can wait in line for the next harry potter book I can read these books. Plus these have been out for ages and you can get the whole set at Walmart for $27.00.

I was researching C.S. Lewis today. I knew that he was a Christian philosopher and writer. But I didn't know how deep this man was. I want to show you a few quotes from this great man of God.

If I find in myself a desire which no experience
in the world can satisfy, the most probable
explanation is that I was made for another world"

But why anything comes to be there at all,
and whether there is anything behind the things
science observes. . .Thiss is not a scientific
question.

I was at this time living in a whirl of
contradictions. I maintained that God did not
exist. I was also very angry with God for not
existing.

Free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the
only thing that makes possible any love or goodness
or joy worth having.

It is after you have realized that there is a real Moral
Law, and a Power behind the law, and that you have
broken that law and put yourself wrong with that
Power it is after all this, and not a moment sooner,
that Christianity begins to talk.


God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks
in our conscience, but shouts in our pains:
megaphones megaphone to rouse a deaf world.
~ Lewis

This man knew what he was talking about. You can just see his progression through the years. In all things he realized the very foundation of EVERYTHING is on Christ.

"Think about what I am saying. The Lord will give you understanding in all these things."
(2 Timothy 2:7)
