“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.”

― C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain

“God can’t give us peace and happiness apart from Himself because there is no such thing.”

― C.S. Lewis

“We read to know that we are not alone.”

― C.S. Lewis

“I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.”

― C.S. Lewis

“The Christian 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

“If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.”

― C.S. Lewis

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.”

“Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of – throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.”

― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

Enjoy!

      “There are those who hate Christianity and call their hatred an all-embracing love for all religions.”

― G.K. Chesterton

      “Just going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car.”

― G.K. Chesterton
