C.S. Lewis was a man of great wisdom. I’m so thankful God gave us this man, and to do so much great work.
Looking ever heavenward as we seek to be mirrors of God in every way, that he might receive all honor, glory, and dominion.
What to mirror of God? We should seek to be like him, to do what’s right, to love mercy, do justice, walk humbly with our God. We should promote what he promotes, showing steadfast love to all God’s children, to pray for the souls of our enemies, to protect the weak, and to proclaim freedom from sin, strife, and even just in general. God never explicitly commands freedom in the Bible, but it is littered throughout his commands, only the blind would miss it.
Interesting. I just read this aloud the other night. We were made for another world and this is exactly Gods plan. He wanted us to wake up and see just that.
Very true. However, never use the truth of our eternal future to avoid working to make THIS life and this world better. God didn't go through all the work of this fantastic creation just so we could sit around waiting for the glories of Heaven. I don't know why He did it this way, but He wants us to LIVE. So we should never do what we did and let happen these last two years. Should something come along again that we fear so much that we'll let a few people take all the power and wealth for the sake of helping us in an " emergency", we should all find the courage to tell them no, that we got this. They sinned against God by keeping themselves and the rest of us suppressed out of fear.
I noted that early in life. I've always thought they just took "live" and spelled it backwards to represent what is essentially thr opposite of what "live" represents. Though I don't really know if that is the true origin or not.
This book right here began my awakening. It allowed me to see Christ for the first time and answered many questions I had since I was a child, questions that weren’t answered in children’s church. It’s what led me to what people like to label as “New Age”, but in reality it’s a break in the chains of doctoral religious teachings.
This is why I feel so unsatisfied with this world. Although it is also God's creation for us, it has been corrupted by the sins of man. Heaven is incorruptible, so my heart and soul yearn for that place which is free from all burdens we feel here on earth. I can't connect with people here anymore, they're so stubbornly tied down to this world. They can't even fathom that there's something past death. They can't see past their own selves.
Unless you have some proof of this please do not foment gossip! Gossip is a terrible thing. Like this dandy rumor I heard last night about Mama Cass Elliott that she died from choking on a ham sandwich. I believed it and it wasn't true. She died of a heart attack and left a 7 yr old daughter behind he had to hear that all these years. So please be aware that people have a life and family and reputations. I admit that I also forget the golden rule but I am trying to do better.
I completely agree about the need to back up claims with facts. It was pretty embarrassing that I was talking about the wrong person, so I've dined on my own foot today. 🤦♀️
But MAGULQ was very kind when pointing out my mistake.
There was something tickling my mind when I wrote that first post, knowing something was wrong with it. But I was too lazy to follow up on that feeling and look it up before sharing.
So, bright side, I'll be double checking my info before sharing in the future. Because that was embarrassing. 😂

All the people "lost" at legal se(e/a).
Very true.

Beautifully said!
Thanks!

If you do not have his book Mere Christianity, go out and get it now.

:) I've been reading it on repeat the last six months. It has so many messages in it.
It’s not one I can sit down and binge on. It’s one of those you pick up and read a little here and there. Information overload!! 🤯

Remember greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. God Almighty
Wow.
Wasn't he a pedophile? After he died, when people started going through his stuff, they found a lot of nude photos of children he took in his studio.

Also am learning to read other's responses before I remark. Insert foot into mouth.

We all done the exactly same thing at one time. No big deal.

I'm an idiot. I have no idea where my brain is today.
At least I didn't get all outraged and insulted when asked for sauce. 🤣
Yeah I wouldn't believe the bible either. Its been totally corrupted by the cabal for centuries
