Quote of the Day (C.S. Lewis, on Looking for Yourself vs. Christ)

“Look for yourself, and you will find in that long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else.” —British academic, Christian apologist, and novelist C.S. Lewis (1898-1963), Mere Christianity (1952)

Quote of the Day (C.S. Lewis, on How God Shows Himself)

“When you come to knowing God, the initiative lies on His side. If He does not show Himself, nothing you can do will enable you to find Him. And, in fact, He shows much more of Himself to some people than to others—not because He has favourites, but because it is impossible for Him to show Himself to a man whose whole mind and character are in the wrong condition. Just as sunlight, though it has no favourites, cannot be reflected in a dusty mirror as clearly as in a clean one.” — C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity (1952)

Quote of the Day (C.S. Lewis, on ‘Daily Prayers and Religious Readings’)

“Daily prayers and religious readings and churchgoing are necessary parts of the Christian life. We have to be continually reminded of what we believe. Neither this belief nor any other will automatically remain alive in the mind. It must be fed. And as a matter of fact, if you examined a hundred people who had lost their faith in Christianity, I wonder how many of them would turn out to have been reasoned out of it by honest argument? Do not most people simply drift away?”—C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity (1952)

Quote of the Day (C.S. Lewis, on Humility)

"Humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less."—C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity (1952)

Quote of the Day (C.S. Lewis, on ‘The Smallest Good Act Today’)

“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.” —C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity (1952)

Quote of the Day (C.S. Lewis, on God and ‘Our Chance to Choose the Right Side’)

"Now, today, this moment, is our chance to choose the right side. God is holding back to give us that chance. It will not last forever. We must take it or leave it." —C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity (1952)
