Words of wisdom

i) CS Lewis
"Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man.

We say that people are proud of being rich, or clever, or good looking, but they are not. They are proud of being RICHER, or CLEVERER, or BETTER LOOKING than others.

If everyone else became EQUALLY rich, or clever, or good looking, there would be nothing to be proud about.

"It is the COMPARISON that makes you proud: the pleasure of being ABOVE THE REST." CS Lewis..

ii) Franky Schaeffer from "Sham Pearls for Real Swine".

‎"Our securities lies in the fact that God knows us, not in how we "feel" about ourselves.

Our salvation is not measured by how we "feel" or whether we feel "whole" or "fulfilled", but whether we have obey Christ's clear instructions. How we "feel" about things is usually unimportant as feelings are unreliable. "

"Worship experience" is not love of God; it is obeying His law is. It what we "do" that counts. This is faith. " Franky Schaeffer
