Born on November 29, 1898, in Belfast, Ireland, C.S. Lewis went on to teach at Oxford University and became a renowned apologist writer, using logic and philosophy to support the tenets of his Christian faith. He is also known throughout the world as the author of The Chronicles of Narnia fantasy series, which have been adapted into various films for the big and small screens. Find out more here.
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
Indeed, our life with Jesus will cause us to live outside of our comfort zone, to face our own foibles and insecurities, to step out in faith when it seems ridiculous, and to jeopardize the status that the world so desperately tells us we need.
If you don't want this kind of life, Christianity will disappoint you.
If you embrace this life, however, Christianity will change you and show you more than you could ever know.
Faith is risk. So risk faith my friends! Risk faith! It won't be easy but nothing that matters in this world ever is. So risk faith, because Jesus is not only worth the risk but worthy of the risk!
Jesus, may we love you as you have already loved us! Amen.
