christian greatness worship
The Christian's instinct of trust and worship are stimulated very powerfully by knowledge of the greatness of God.
order worship true-worship
Certainly true worship invigorates, but to plan invigoration is not necessarily to order worship.
christian action evangelism
All true theology has an evangelistic thrust, and all true evangelism is theology in action.
humble work-out church
God in his wisdom, to make and keep us humble and to teach us to walk by faith, has hidden from us almost everything that we should like to know about the providential purposes which he is working out in the churches and in our own lives.
be-good theologian
Every time we mention God we become theologians, and the only question is whether we are going to be good ones or bad ones.

Real spiritual growth is always growth downward, so to speak, into profounder humility, which in healthy souls will become more and more apparent as they age.

Pelagianism is the natural heresy of zealous Christians who are not interested in theology.

world missed-you
Thank you, Mr.Lewis, for being you. I wouldn't have missed you for the world.

There are ministers who never speak of repentance or self-denial. Naturally they are popular, but they are false prophets.
biblical grace favors
To mend our own relationship with God, regaining God's favor after having once lost it, is beyond the power of any one of us. And one must see and bow to this before one can share the biblical faith in God's grace.
blessed men evil
William Wilberforce...w as a great man who impacted the Western world as few others have done. Blessed with brains, charm, influence and initiative, much wealth ... he put evangelism on Britain's map as a power for social change, first by overthrowing the slave trade almost single-handed and then by generating a stream of societies for doing good and reducing evil in public life... To forget such men is foolish.
should staggering sinner
It is staggering that God should love sinners, yet it is true.
christian lying men
It is here, in the thing that happened at the first Christmas, that the most profound unfathomable depths of the Christian revelation lie. God became man; Nothing in fiction is so fantastic as this truth of the incarnation.
