Prodigal: This is good cornbread!

Me: I want some!

Prodigal: Ok, I share my cornbread and you share what you just read.

This is from C.S. Lewis Mere Christianity

If Christianity only means one more bit of good advice, then Christianity if of no importance. There has been no lack of good advice for the last four thousand years. A bit more makes no difference.

But as soon as you look at any real Christian writings, you find that they are talking about something quite different from this popular religion. They say Christ is the Son of God (whatever that means). They say that those who give Him their confidence can also become Sons of God (whatever that means). They say that His death saved us from our sins (whatever that means).

There is no good complaining that these statements are difficult. Christianity claims to be telling us about another world, about something behind the world we can touch and hear and see.

Seek who Jesus was. It is only then that you will begin to understand for yourself what all this means. We cannot deny that something is going on with Jesus who has stayed around for thousands of years and in so many different countries and cultures.

James 4:8

Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double-minded.
