“Christianity is no mere scheme of doctrine or of ethical practice, but is instead a kind of miracle, a power out of nature and above, descending into it; a historically supernatural movement on the world, that is visibly entered into it, and organized to be an institution in the person of Jesus Christ.” WorldKindPersonsJesusChristChristianityPracticeMovementJesus ChristMiracleInstitutionsMereDoctrineOrganizedEthicalSchemesDescending Book:The Character of Jesus Source: The Character of Jesus
“Let us pray for ourselves, that we may not lose the word “concern” out of our Christian vocabulary. Let us pray for our nation.

“Q. What is your view of the daily discipline of the Christian life - the need for taking time to be alone with God? Lewis: "We have our New Testament regimental orders upon the subject. I would take it for granted that everyone who becomes a Christian would undertake this practice. It is enjoined upon us by Our Lord; and since they are his commands, I believe in following them. It is always just possible that Jesus Christ meant what he said when He told us to seek the secret place and to close the door.” NeedsBelieveSaidChristianOrderJesusI BelieveChristViewsSecretLordPracticeDoorsSubjectsDisciplineJesus ChristFollowingI Believe InChristian LifeCommandGrantedTake TimeTestamentOur LordNew TestamentSecret PlacesAlone With GodDaily Discipline Author:C.
