Will Lewis
William Lewis or Willie Lewis may refer to:...
spiritual cancer pride
For pride is spiritual cancer: it eats up the very possibility of love, or contentment, or even common sense.
depression god christian
Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.
faith religion answers
I know now, Lord, why you utter no answer. You are yourself the answer. Before your face questions die away. What other answer would suffice?
men needs laying-down
Fallen man is not simply an imperfect creature who needs improvement: he is a rebel who must lay down his arms.
inspirational inspiring kindness
Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less.
christian-inspirational religion want
I didn’t go to religion to make me happy. I always knew a bottle of Port would do that. If you want a religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don’t recommend Christianity.
heart home heaven
The fact that our heart yearns for something Earth can't supply is proof that Heaven must be our home.
god faith christian
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.
wisdom freedom sleep
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
daughter mother bullying
To forgive the incessant provocations of daily life - to keep on forgiving the bossy mother-in-law, the bullying husband, the nagging wife, the selfish daughter, the deceitful son - how can we do it? Only, I think, by remembering where we stand, by meaning our words when we say in our prayers each night, “Forgive our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” We are offered forgiveness on no other terms. To refuse it is to refuse God’s mercy for ourselves. There is no hint of exceptions and God means what he says.
world next deals
If you live for the next world, you get this one in the deal; but if you live only for this world, you lose them both.
self church may
A cold, self-righteous prig who goes regularly to church may be far nearer to Hell than a prostitute.
difficulty immunity
Life with God is not immunity from difficulties, but peace in difficulties.
where-you-are
You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.
