“There is a difficulty about disagreeing with God. He is the source from which all your reasoning power comes: you could not be right and He wrong any more than a stream can rise higher than its own source. When you are arguing against Him you are arguing against the very power that makes you able to argue at all: it is like cutting off the branch you are sitting on.”  C.S. Lewis

“A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it.”   G.K. Chesterton

“A man can’t be taken to hell, or sent to hell: you can only get there on your own steam.”   C.S. Lewis

“It is in learning righteousness that we learn to deal with all unrighteousness.”   Watchman Nee

“A man is never so proud as when striking an attitude of humility.”   C.S. Lewis

“Light has a precise law. It enlightens all who are open to it. And the measure of one’s openness determines the amount of illumination one has.”      Watchman Nee

“No man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to be good.”   C.S. Lewis

“Our instincts are obviously in conflict. The satisfaction of one demands the denial of another.”  C.S. Lewis

“Christianity does not involve the belief that all things were made for man. It does involve the belief that God loves man and for his sake became man and died.”  C.S. Lewis

I contemplate this statement as it is Good Friday and many of my acquaintences are going through religious rituals, never having an intimate understanding of who Jesus is and why today is called Good Friday. They only know they are being told to not eat something and light a candle. Thinking about how my Savior sacrificed Himself so I could be free of religion is precious. More still is the beauty in the cross and how it made a way home for me for eternity.
