Mere Christianity

I read mere Christianity after Spencer Claven came on and was singing its praises. It's amazing.

It was, it was life-changing. I learned so much. And of course, his writing is just spectacular anyway.

Oh, it is so good. Um, he's so clear and that's one of the things I love to, he takes complex ideas and he, he can make them completely accessible to a normal human being like us.

I think humility is the very center of morality and pride is the very center of immorality

I was won over to this way of thinking there's a book called mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis ultimately you will conflate through the moral it's moral architecture it's ultimately morality is something that's authored by a moral law giver if you don't have a moral law giver then you don't have a real moral law other than something we just make up that means whether it's the individual that says this is what's moral or whether society that makes some type of social contract still morality in this case would be something that we just make up because it's helpful but it's not transcendently real

I think we've said this before C.S. Lewis has noted I have a mercenary heart willing to give myself to the highest bidder willing to give my heart to the highest bidder and the question is gosh Lord help me how do I become the kind of person who can love you for your own sake?

It stated that pride was a great sin. The essential vice, the utmost evil. It was through pride that the devil became the devil. Pride leads to every other vice. It is the complete anti-God state of mind.

After Monaghan read this, it dawned on him the only way to make a difference was to let go of his pride and do something big.

He's broken through, he's open to cleft, C.S. Lewis says. He's broken through.

Time from flanders you know the mere boss book

Christians have often disputed as to whether what leads the Christian home is good actions or faith in Christ. Kind of a works grace thing. I have no right really to speak on such a difficult question, but it does seem to me like asking which blade in a pair of scissors is most necessary.

You know what C.S. Lewis said about that? Well, you can't have it that way. That's right. He either was the Son of God or he was crazy or something.

C.S. Lewis says sometimes we don't get the answer that we're so desperate for. We get more of a no answer.

He said, but it's not uncompassionate as if God is saying peace child. You don't understand this because we see through the lens, you know, kind of blurry. And so it's your fault.
