William Lewis or Willie Lewis may refer to:...
blind disobedience conscience
Disobedience to conscience makes conscience blind.
country home thinking
The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing — to reach the Mountain, to find the place where all the beauty came from — my country, the place where I ought to have been born. Do you think it all meant nothing, all the longing? The longing for home? For indeed it now feels not like going, but like going back.
running tired thinking
If one could run without getting tired I don't think one would often want to do anything else.
religious thinking devil
Whenever we find that our religious life is making us feel that we are good - above all, that we are better than someone else - I think we may be sure that we are being acted on, not by God, but by the devil.
bereavement grief-observed pain-of-separation
Bereavement is a universal and integral part of our experience of love.
lovely certain ifs
Certain things, if not seen as lovely or detestable, are not being correctly seen at all.
reading miracle christianity
In Science we have been reading only the notes to a poem; in Christianity we find the poem itself.
expectations found true-faith
True faith is never found alone; it is accompanied by expectation.
always-trying long mind
You must ask for God's help. Even when you have done so, it may seem to you for a long time that no help, or less help than you need, is being given. Never mind. After each failure, ask forgiveness, pick yourself up, and try again. Very often what God first helps us towards is not the virtue itself but just this power of always trying again.
intellectual secret listening
When you go to church you are really listening-in to the secret wireless from out friends: that is why the enemy is so anxious to prevent us from going. He does it by playing on our conceit and laziness and intellectual snobbery.
brain religion atheism
The theory that thought is merely a movement in the brain is, in my opinion, nonsense; for if so, that theory itself would be merely a movement, an event among atoms, which may have speed and direction but of which it would be meaningless to use the words 'true' or 'false'.
giving-up real self
Give up yourself, and you will find your real self. Lose your life and you will save it.
christian jesus believe
Q. What is your view of the daily discipline of the Christian life - the need for taking time to be alone with God? Lewis: "We have our New Testament regimental orders upon the subject. I would take it for granted that everyone who becomes a Christian would undertake this practice. It is enjoined upon us by Our Lord; and since they are his commands, I believe in following them. It is always just possible that Jesus Christ meant what he said when He told us to seek the secret place and to close the door.
love inspirational sad
I have learned now that while those who speak about one's miseries usually hurt, those who keep silence hurt more.
