Found another file. Doubt I posted this either =)
From: Mere Christianity - CS Lewis
"Pride is spiritual cancer"
"Do not waste time bothering you 'love' your neighbour, act as if you did"
"Don't sit and try to manufacture feelings. Ask yourself 'If I were sure that I loved Jesus, what would I do?' When you found the answer, go and do it"
"Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in, aim for earth and you get neither"
"The battle is between faith and reason on on side and emotion and imagination on the other"
"Now, faith, in the sense which I am using the word, is the art of holding on to things your reason once accepted, in spite of your changing moods"
"No man knows how bad he is until he has tried very hard to be good"
"Not doing these things in order to be saved but because He has begun to save you"
"If what you call 'faith' in Christ does not involve taking the slightest notice of what He says, then it is not faith at all - not faith or trust in HIm, but only intellectual acceptance of some theory about Him"
These are two classics that ACJC always uses and talks about. The first is actually imprinted on the wall of one off the blocks of the school building and every ACSian has probably heard about it, and the next is found again and again in last's year's graduate service, this year's dedication service and they had always spoke to my heart. I hope it would speak to yours too :)
01
The past we inherit
The present we create
For those who hope, work and play (I am hoping that I din memorize this wrongly)
The best is yet to be
02
And I said to the man
Who stood at the gate of the year
"Give me a light
That I may thread safely into the unknown"
And He replied
"Go out into the darkness
And put your hand in the hand of God
That shall be to you better than light
And safer than the known way"
