Will Lewis
William Lewis or Willie Lewis may refer to:...
giving-up real self
Give up yourself, and you will find your real self. Lose your life and you will save it.
men doe sake
Man is not the centre. God does not exist for the sake of man. Man does not exist for his own sake.
running past offering
In the long run the answer to all those who object to the doctrine of hell, is itself a question: What are you asking God to do? To wipe out their past sins and, at all costs, to give them a fresh start, smoothing every difficulty and offering every miraculous help? But He has done so, on Calvary. To forgive them? They will not be forgiven. To leave them alone? Alas, I am afraid that is what He does.
time errors sin
Every uncorrected error and unrepented sin is, in its own right, a fountain of fresh error and fresh sin flowing on to the end of time.
self sake ifs
If nothing is self-evident, nothing can be proved. Similarly if nothing is obligatory for its own sake, nothing is obligatory at all.
lost-love love-is hatred
Love may, indeed, love the beloved when her beauty is lost: but not because it is lost. Love may forgive all infirmities and love still in spite of them: but Love cannot cease to will their removal. Love is more sensitive than hatred itself to every blemish in the beloved… Of all powers he forgives most, but he condones least: he is pleased with little, but demands all.
christian men repent
A Christian is not a man who never goes wrong, but a man who is enabled to repent.
helping praying because-i-can
I pray because I can't help myself. I pray because I'm helpless. It doesn't change God - it changes me.
love religious secret
Do not waste time bothering whether you ‘love’ your neighbor; act as if you did. As soon as we do this we find one of the great secrets. When you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love him.
democratic
Beauty is not democratic; she reveals herself more to the few than to the many...
trying gleam way
If you have really handed yourself over to Him, it must follow that you are trying to obey Him. But trying in a new way, a less worried way.
ill-tempered show-me shows
Provocation doesn't make me ill-tempered: it only shows me how ill-tempered I am.
water inquiry made
Thirst was made for water. Inquiry for truth.
happiness mean men
I care far more how humanity lives than how long. Progress, for me, means increasing goodness and happiness of individual lives. For the species, as for each man, mere longevity seems to me a contemptible ideal.
