"You never know how much you really believe anything until its truth or falsehood becomes a matter of life and death to you. . . Only a real risk tests the reality of a belief."HT: Christ Is Deeper Still
--C. S. Lewis, A Grief Observed (New York, 1961), page 21, as quoted by Ray Ortlund.
The Puritan identity. On a journey to a better country (Hebrews 11:16), going further up and further in to the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God (Romans 11:33) by laboring to delight in the law of the LORD and meditate on it day and night (Psalm 1:2) while the war and conflict relentlessly rage on until Christ comes (Romans 7:22-25) or calls me home.
