C.S. LEWIS 11-22-63

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY NOVEMBER 22, 2022

    EACH YEAR ON THIS DAY THE MEDIA AND MANY OTHERS PAY TRIBUTE TO THE ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY. THEY IGNORE ANOTHER MAN WHO DIED OF NATURAL CAUSES ON THE SAME DAY, 59 YEARS AGO.

    HIS NAME IS CLIVES STAPLES LEWIS AND HIS WORKS REMAIN IN PRINT TO INFLUCE, ENCOURAGE AND CONVERT NEW GENERATIONS TO JESUS CHRIST.

    “MERE CHRISTIANITY” REMAINS HIS MOST POPULAR, ALONG WITH “THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA.”

    SOME EXCERPTS FROM HIS WRITINGS REMAIN AS PROFOUND AS WHEN HE WROTE THEM, EXAMPLES: “You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.”

        LIFE WITH GOD IS NOT immunity from difficulties, but peace in difficulties.”

    “Once people stop believing in God, the problem is not that they will believe in nothing; rather, the problem is that they will believe anything.”

   “   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.’”

    AND MY PERSONAL FAVORITE: “Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither.”

    C.., LEWIS. IF YOU HAVEN’T DISCOVERED HIM, HE’S WORTH THE JOURNEY. I’M CAL THOMAS.
