Will Lewis
William Lewis or Willie Lewis may refer to:...
attitude children would-be
The worst attitude of all would be the professional attitude which regards children in the lump as a sort of raw material which we have to handle.
running war long
Total war is the most humane in the long run.
atheist people opiates
Those who would most scornfully repudiate Christianity as a mere "opiate of the people" have a contempt for the rich, that is, for all mankind except the poor.
atheist real believe
Unless thought is valid we have no reason to believe in the real universe.
atheist claims inference
A universe whose only claim to be believed in rests on the validity of inference must not start telling us the inference is invalid.
biblical self order
The value of the Old Testament may be dependant on what seems its imperfection. It may repel one use in order that we may be forced to use it in another way-to find the Word in it...to re-live, while we read, the whole Jewish experience of God's gradual and graded self-revelation, to feel the very contentions between the Word and the human material through which it works.
jesus dying sin
We are told that Christ was killed for us, that His death has washed out our sins, and that by dying He disabled death itself. That is the formula. That is Christianity. That is what has to be believed.
prayer wine vision
Prayer in the sense of petition, asking for things, is a small part of it; confession and penitence are its threshold, adoration its sanctuary, the presence and vision and enjoyment of God its bread and wine.
educational men differences
If they embark on this course the difference between the old and the new education will be an important one. Where the old initiated, the new merely 'conditions'. The old dealt with its pupils as grown birds deal with young birds when they teach them to fly; the new deals with them more as the poultry-keeper deals with young birds- making them thus or thus for purposes of which the birds know nothing. In a word, the old was a kind of propagation-men transmitting manhood to men; the new is merely propaganda.
religious perception moments
Unless Christianity is wholly false, the perception of ourselves which we have in moments of shame must be the only true one...
religious people honest
If you examined a hundred people who had lost their faith in Christianity, I wonder how many of them would turn out to have reasoned out of it by honest argument? Do not most people simply drift away?
dog sheep wish
I wish they would remember that the charge to Peter was "Feed my sheep", not "Try experiments on my rats", or even "Teach my performing dogs new tricks".
blessed suffering program
We were promised sufferings. They were part of the program. We were even told, Blessed are they that morn.
mirrors perfection impossible
The command "Be ye prfect" is not idealistic gas. Nor is it a command to do the impossible. He said (in the Bible) that we were "gods" and he is going to make good his words. He will make us into a god or goddess, a dazzling, radiant, immortal creature...a bright stainless mirror which reflects back to God perfectly.
