There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, Thy will be done, and those to whom God says, All right, then, have it your way
C.S. Lewis
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself (for God did not need to create). It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.

The perfect church service, would be one we were almost unaware of.<br/>Our attention would have been on God.

The (Christian) doctrines are translations into our concepts and ideas of that which God has already expressed in language more adequate, namely the actual incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection

Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable.

We regard God as an airman regards his parachute; it's there for emergencies but he hopes he'll never have to use it

I could well believe that it is God's intention, since we have refused milder remedies, to compel us<br/>into unity, by persecution even and hardship. Satan is without a doubt nothing else than a hammer in the<br/>hand of a benevolent and severe God. For all, either willingly or unwillingly, do the will of God: <br/>Judas and Satan as tools or instruments, John and Peter as sons.

Do you think it all meant nothing, all the longing? The longing for home? <br/>For indeed it now feels not like going, but like going back. All my life the god<br/>of the Mountain has been wooing me. Oh, look up once at least before the end<br/>and wish me joy. I am going to my lover. Do you not see now?

When we see the face of God we shall know that we have always known it. He has been a party to, has made, sustained and moved moment by moment within, all our earthly experiences of innocent love.

I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that<br/>people often say about Him: I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral<br/>teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God. That is the one thing we<br/>must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus<br/>said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic--on a<br/>level with the man who says he is a poached egg--or else he would be the<br/>Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the<br/>Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a<br/>fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His<br/>feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising<br/>nonsense about His being a great moral teacher. He has not left that open <br/>to us. He did not intend to.
