William Lewis or Willie Lewis may refer to:...
giving forever today
That will not be the time for choosing: it will be the time when we discover which side we really have chosen, whether we realized it before or not. Now, today, this moment, is out chance to chose the right side. God is holding back to give us that chance. It will not last forever. We must take it or leave it.
life order suffering
Try to exclude the possibility of suffering which the order of nature and the existence of free-wills involve, and you find that you have excluded life itself
prayer flames doe
Almost certainly God is not in time. His life does not consist of moments one following another...Ten-thirty-- and every other moment from the beginning of the world--is always Present for Him. If you like to put it this way, He has all eternity in which to listen to the split second of prayer put up by a pilot as his plane crashes in flames.
religion intellectual slacker
God is no fonder of intellectual slackers than He is of any other slacker.
inspirational prayer literature
It's so much easier to pray for a bore than to go and see one.
men independence instruments
What we call Man's power over Nature turns out to be a power exercised by some men over other men with Nature as its instrument.
life wisdom teacher
Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn.
doors hell locked
The doors of hell are locked from the inside!
years good-man true-or-false
Christianity asserts that every individual human being is going to live for ever, and this must be either true or false. Now there are a good many things which would not be worth bothering about if I were going to live only seventy years, but which I had better bother about very seriously if I am going to live for ever.
loss evil decision
Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance. The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of. An apparently trivial indulgence in lust or anger today is the loss of a ridge or railway line or bridgehead from which the enemy may launch an attack otherwise impossible.
wise men thinking
A pipe gives a wise man time to think and a fool something to stick in his mouth.
war military thinking
The perfect church service would be the one we were almost unaware of; our attention would have been on God. But every novelty prevents this. It fixes our attention on the service itself; and thinking about worship is a different thing than worshipping ... 'Tis mad idolatry that makes the service greater than the god.
faith inspiration evil
You and I have need of the strongest spell that can be found to wake us from the evil enchantment of worldliness.
firsts put-first-things-first thrown
Put first things first and second things are thrown in. Put second things first and you lose both first and second things.
