God Is Pure Spirit
and varied writings of C. S. Lewis, 1898-1963. This is the year we celebrate the centenary of his birth. Today, we have a few lines from PERELANDRA, the second book in his much-celebrated space trilogy. GOD IS PURE SPIRIT "Didn't we agree that God is a spirit? Don't you worship Him because He is pure spirit?'" "Good heavens, no! We worship Him because He is wise and good. There's nothing specially fine about being a spirit. The Devil is a spirit." C. S. Lewis, PERELANDRA, Macmillan Company, 1944 [Highly recommended for late-summer reading! Start with the first book in the trilogy, OUT OF THE SILENT PLANET.] Have a great week, Chip Stam Pastor of Worship and Music Chapel Hill Bible Church Chapel Hill, North Carolina |
