Worship – C S Lewis

A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word ‘darkness’ on the walls of his cell.

From: C. S. Lewis

 

Delight – C S Lewis

The most valuable thing the Psalms do for me is to express the same delight in God which made David dance.

From: C. S. Lewis

Being Good – C S Lewis

“The Christian is in a different position from other people who are trying to be good.  They hope, by being good, to please God if there is one; or – if they think there is not – at least they hope to deserve approval from good men.  But the Christian thinks any good he does comes from the Christ-life inside him.  He does not think God will love us because we are good but that God will make us good because he loves us.”

— C. S. Lewis, The C. S. Lewis Bible, p 1335

 

 

Higher than God

“I think that if God forgives us we must forgive ourselves. Otherwise it is almost like setting up ourselves as a higher tribunal than Him.”

C. S. Lewis
