I think I mentioned in a previous post that I am reading through C.S. Lewis’ classic Mere Christianity as part of my morning quiet time. This morning I read the chapter entitled, “Social Morality” and in it Lewis writes about charity: giving to the poor. His words are convicting and compelling. I hope you will take a minute to read his words and let God use them as needed in your life. (more…)

I’m making my way through Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis and this morning I read, what I think, is one of his greatest statements.

“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 was merely a man and 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.”

As for me, I agree with C.S. Lewis and choose to fall at his feet and call Him Lord and God. What is your decision?
