1st then rewind, and listen again with a note pad. One conclusion is this: "the things of earth grow quickly and strangely dim in His presence"

[youflatscreentube]

I am truly distracted by the clarity that flows from the amazing brilliance of this man’s thoughts. Sentence to sentence, no fluff or shortcuts in cognition, speaks a tongue only perceived by those desperate for heaven.

[colton]

“When human souls have become as perfect in voluntary obedience as the inanimate creation is in its lifeless obedience, then they will put on its glory” beautiful

[nonosays]

How fortunate we are to have C.S. Lewis as our spiritual friend!

[harrisonrakhshani]

This sermon actually changed the course of my life

[debbieellett]

Such a powerful speech! Once again I wish his essays were readily available when I was growing up. The church we had was very far from the truth of Scripture. I pray this channel is brought to the attention of many people. Thank you and I thank God for C.S.Lewis.🙏🙏🙏🙏

[markreeves]

I have read the weight of glory numerous times. First time to listen to it. Magnificent. Oh the mind God gave Mr Lewis. I feel that longing and hear that whisper he describes.

[garyjones]

When you let God’s word work within you this is the way you become.

C. S. Lewis, a great Christian apologetic, his books changed my life.

[drewblack]

If you asked 20 men today what they thought the highest of the virtues—they would reply unselfishness. A lack of self. Versus the traditional answer—Love. One empty as virtue. One full of the other—as it were.

From their works you shall know them. Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, please have mercy on me for I am a sinner. May the Lord keep you from all harm CS Lewis.

[WadeWeigle]

That was a deep dive! I’m very glad I can understand what is said here and relate it to my children. Mr. Lewis is on a very high level of communication and thought. A wonderful dissertation that will be cherished by me and mine for many a year.

[JeffMeadowsOutdoors]

Thank you for sharing this. I have seen parts of this quoted by many Christian authors, but now I have heard it in full. I have noticed that the older I get, the more nostalgic I get. Only Lewis could cause me to realize that these looks backward are actually reminders of what is ahead.

[Batterybus]

Get The Weight of Glory. Marvelous book. I highly recommend The Great Divorce as well. Lewis was a giant.

[libertasomnibus]

I listened to this in devotions at my school. This mans voice is amazing, and Lewis’s writings provoked so much discussion. We once talked for 15 minutes about 10 seconds of audio!

[Brian.Street]

The good of man is to be...Found...on this earth. Mining for nuggets of Righteousness. Searching the depths of ourselves to transcend the evil that consistently attacks the heart soul mind and body. For Love comes more naturally to the human heart. "Be Strong" Just as King David said.

[johnbardenwerper]

His preaching is I like it. He makes you think...with an intention to listen and work out on what you're wanting to learn. And to hear more.

[TheMidnightModder]

"We are far too easily pleased."
This got the gears in my mind turning. We find pleasure in some of the most useless things. Eating a cupcake, instead of learning a treasured skill. Our standards are so low and we waste so much of our lives doing stupid things, when we could be doing great things, if only we shunned stupid things, and had much higher standards than we do. And frankly, I don't even think they're "high" standards. I think calling these standards "high" is propaganda from a sinfully lazy society, but not the truth that God tries to instill in us. Is perfectionism a bad thing, or something we should all strive for? Should we be satisfied with eating a cupcake, or disgusted with the thought of finding satisfaction from the mere act of consuming sugar? We should shun useless actions, and strive for true feats of human greatness! We should manifest the attributes of being "created in the image of God, " instead of finding satisfaction in absolutely waste-of-time tasks.
But I am the chief of wasting my time, I'm watching YouTube instead of doing my school work. I am the chief of all sinners. But, C. S. Lewis certainly isn't the worst person to procrastinate to lol

[ChefStache]

This has been very helpful for my Sunday school lessons

[johnlynch]

This man recieved the Glory. This I BELIEVE . He talks as one who knows.
