Uw woord is een lamp voor mijn voet en een licht op mijn pad.
God beloofde een lamp voor je voet,niet een kristallen bol voor de toekomst.
Max Lucado
C S Lewis quotes
Posted by omko in Uncategorized on December 3, 2009
Laatst heb ik een paar qoutes gelezen van C.S. Lewis. Een bijzondere man die tijdens zijn leven tot geloof is gekomen.
Hier een paar quotes die mij aanspreken:
- 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.
Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable.
Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.
Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn.
- “I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: “I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept His claim to be God.” That is the one thing we must not say. A man who said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.”
