Clive Staples Lewis…..Readers of this blog know that this 20th century intellectual giant is my all-time favorite Christian Author. A one- time Atheist, he came to experience the magnificence and love of God and could not stop writing about his faith until he died. This piece was originally published on 2/28/2018.

LOVE ME: The King’s first demand from His children. Wisely so, because all the other demands are rooted in and fulfilled in this first demand. Love Me with the greatest intensity you can muster.

If we knew how much our lack of trust in God hurts Him, we would be wary of even the erroneous appearance of it.

Almost every offence they committed, including their periods of idolatry, stemmed from their lack of beliefContinueContinue reading “Lent 2021: Day 20 – When We Unwittingly Tempt God.”

O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!
