C. S. Lewis

He who said “aim at heaven” went there on this date in 1963.
The impact of C. S. Lewis on Christian discipleship is inestimable.
In the chapter titled “Hope” in Mere Christianity is the full sentence which,
without a doubt, is my most often used quote: “Aim at heaven and you will get earth ‘thrown in’: aim at earth and you will get neither.”

I’ve often wondered if that quote was inspired by this text from Paul to the Colossians:

“If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.” (Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭ESV‬‬)

Why Doctrine? For Joy and Assurance

Someone who doesn’t have Fb asked how to watch the teaching at Mt. Shiloh Baptist Church.

Someone else said I could link it.

So here’s my attempt. Sorry to bother the rest of you.
