Holiness would transform the world – CS Lewis

Holiness would transform the world – CS Lewis

How little people know who think that holiness is dull. When one meets the real thing … it is irresistible. If even 10% of the world’s population had it, would not the whole world be converted and happy before a year’s end?

– CS Lewis –
from Letters to an American Lady, 1967

Release your grasp on the temporal – Jim Elliot

Release your grasp on the temporal – Jim Elliot

Father, let me loose my clutch on everything temporal. My life, my reputation, my possessions, Lord, let me loose the tension of the grasping hand. Open my hand to receive the nail of Calvary, as Christ’s was opened. He thought Heaven, yea, equality with God, not a thing to be clutched at. So let me release my grasp.
