#Theology
quote
Trashcanman

“When Christianity is used as a means to an end — especially a political end — it ceases to be Christianity. It becomes just another badge for tribal identity“

dabbe I didn't see this until now! See, your words make us glide over your thoughts effortlessly! I once did an assignment with my students where I had a paragraph and ALL OF THE VOWELS were missing. They were able to figure out what was being said perfectly. That's what our brains have trained us to do. We see the syntax of the sentence, figure out the word, and move on. 🖤🐝🖤 2w

Mere Christianity | C. S. Lewis

Lewis truly had a gift to break down complex issues into bit-size understandable chunks.

Looking into the what, the how and the Who behind some questions everyone asks themselves at one point in their lives; and explaining in a sensible manner the why behind Christianity

I finished this tonight sitting on the back patio, listening to the birds, and enjoying our little slice of nature. I admire Bonhoeffer and there‘s a lot of wisdom in this slim book. His German idiosyncrasies do come through, as when he said “we should train ourselves to set apart for it a regular hour for [meditation] as we do for every other service we perform. This is not ‘legalism‘; it is orderliness and fidelity.” But much here is universal.

The Great Divorce: A Dream | Clive Staples Lewis

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I‘ve read this book before, but it has been at least 15 years, so it was good to go into it with fresh eyes.
I think Lewis most shines in this one when he is describing the nuances of different types of love, pity, creating, etc.
It was especially interesting to read this book with my study group after reading a more modern view on Hell & the afterlife. Lots of good thoughts & good conversations.

My husband and I read this one together. We really enjoyed it and found it helpful, encouraging, and insightful. If you‘re looking for a book to learn more about grace, what it is, and what it means for the Christian, then I highly recommend you check this book out. I originally chose it because I enjoy listening to the author‘s podcast, Things Unseen. I recommend that, too.

I found this book used and enjoy the author‘s podcast. I thought I‘d check it out. It‘s been on my shelf for a while. Since I‘m up far too early, I‘m starting it. I‘m still trying to figure out if the Shakespearean insult mug is a result of careful planning for balance, or, more likely, happenstance. Coaster by my daughter. Warm cinnamon toast milk in my mug. #contentment #2025nfbookchallenge
