C.S. Lewis on Pride

“In God you come up against something which is in every respect immeasurably superior to yourself. Unless you know God as that — and, therefore, know yourself as nothing in comparison — you do not know God at all. As long as you are proud, you cannot know God. A proud man is always looking down on things and people: and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you.”


From C.S. Lewis, quoted in Keith Mathison’s review of C.J. Mahaney’s book,Humility: True Greatness.

What is the Value of Reading a large amount of material, if one is frustrated by their lack of retention?

There is much value.

And C.J. Mahaney, in his post HERE gives some of the best answers to that question.  He also quotes John Piper, a quote that I recently also shared here on this blog in an earlier post.

One must always push themselves to read, understanding that the effort may only produce one new idea, one new insight into scripture, one new thought about leadership.  But who is to say that that one "gem" is not going to be a catalyst for great impact and chance in one's life and those around him?
