C.S. Lewis was a smart guy

C.S. Lewis quote:

All that we call human history--money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery--[is] the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.

Not sure about the "happy" part. It might be petty, but I try to stay away from "God makes you happy" in favor of using the word "Joy."

Still - a nice Lewis quote, I think.

The Gospel and the glory

The gospel of Jesus Christ might not always sound or look the way I think it should, but it will always glorify God.

I've been going through Jonah and this is something Jonah had to struggle and eventually just deal with. The gospel Jonah understood was one meant only for God's chosen people and not the Assyrians. Jonah did not expect, and did not want, the gospel of God's mercy to extend to his enemies.

But - in the end the repentant people of Nineveh gave God glory for His merciful warning.

God was glorified, and continues to be glorified thousands of years later as we read this story.

I hate that I see Jonah in myself so much. God help me!
