“Aslan,” said Lucy, “you’re bigger.”
“That is because you are older, little one,” answered he.
“Not because you are?”
“I am not. But every year you grow, you will find me bigger.”
I love this gem from C. S. Lewis’s novel ‘Prince Caspian.’ A profound picture of sanctification.
You know what makes work, business, school, and chores more fun and interesting? Knowing you’re doing these things for God’s glory, as an act of worship, and that they might provide opportunities to point others to Jesus!
After an extensive break from Twitter, I’ve determined my life is no less sweet without it. I do social media for a living, and to say it sucks my personal time away is an understatement.
Praying my social media is used to display the preeminence of Christ and not myself.
In my experience, God changes my affections after I’ve obeyed against my preferences. Don’t like cities? Move to a city on mission and He will make you a city person! Uncomfortable around a particular people? Go near to make disciples and God will give you love for them.
Twitter friends: I have a Hmong friend who wants to know Jesus, but cannot find a Bible in her language that isn’t $100+. Can anyone help point me to the right resource?
Three things we must convey about the decision to follow Jesus:
1. It is costly, so consider it carefully.
2. It is urgent, so make it soon.
3. It is worth it, so you’ll never regret it.
