Dying Words

July 19th, 2008

“My memory is nearly gone, but I remember two things — that I am a great sinner, and that Christ is a great Saviour.”

-John Newton

Burial

July 11th, 2008

Love, as mortals understand the word, isn’t enough. Every natural love will rise again and live forever in this country: but none will rise again until it has been buried…. There is but one good; that is God. Everything else is good when it looks to Him and bad when it turns from Him.

-C.S. Lewis, The Great Divorce

False Gods

July 10th, 2008

Pam, Pam—no natural feelings are high or low, holy or unholy, in themselves. They are all holy when God’s hand is on the rein. They all go bad when they set up on their own and make themselves into false gods.

—C.S. Lewis, The Great Divorce
