Every sin is the distortion of an energy breathed into us...

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

You must not do, you must not ...

You must not do, you must not even try to do, the will of the Father unless you are prepared to 'know of the doctrine'.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

We poison the wine as He decants it into us; murder a melody He would play with us as the instrument...Hence all sin, whatever else it is, is sacrilege.

To admire Satan [in Paradise Lost] is to give one's vote not only for a world of misery, but also for a world of lies and propaganda, of wishful thinking, of incessant autobiography.

Hatred obscures all distinctions.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

The natural life in each of us...

The natural life in each of us is something self-centred, something that wants to be petted and admired, to take advantage of other lives, to exploit the whole universe.

The terrible thing, the almost impossible thing, is the hand over your whole self--all your wishes and precautions--to Christ.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

A blessed spirit is a mould ever more and more patient of the bright metal poured into it, a body ever more completely uncovered to the meridian blaze of the spiritual sun.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

For in self-giving, if anywhere, we touch a rhythm not only of all creation but of all being.

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

Have you not seen that in our days
Of any whose story, song or art
Delights us, our sincerest praise

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

When you come to knowing God, ...

When you come to knowing God, the initiative lies on His side. If He does not show Himself, nothing you can do will enable you to find Him. And, in fact, He shows much more of Himself to some people than to othersЂ'not because He has favourites, but because it is impossible for Him to show Himself to a man whose whole mind and character are in the wrong condition. Just as sunlight, though it has no favourites, cannot be reflected in a dusty mirror as clearly as in a clean one.
