C.S. Lewis -- on the 21st Century

"Who can endure a doctrine which would allow only dentists to say whether our teeth were aching, only cobblers to say whether our shoes hurt us, and only governments to tell us whether we were being well governed." ~ A Preface to Paradise Lost


Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried.
G.K. Chesterton

Luke 15

I've been thinking a lot about Luke 15 and the parables there -- the lost coin, sheep and son(s). I'm thinking another message series based on Jesus' stories, all centering on His reason for telling them -- how the religious folks reacted to the company He kept.

1 Tax collectors and other notorious sinners often came to listen to Jesus teach. 2 This made the Pharisees and teachers of religious law complain that he was associating with such sinful people—even eating with them! (Luke 15:1, 2)
