Quotes for Reflection

James K.A. Smith, You Are What You Love

We are oriented by our longings, directed by our desires. We adopt ways of life that are indexed to such visions for life, not usually because we “think through” our options but rather because some picture captures our imagination.

C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory

At present we are on the outside of the world, the wrong side of the door. We discern the freshness and purity of morning, but they do not make us fresh and pure. We cannot mingle with the splendours we see. But all the leaves of the New Testament are rustling with the rumour that it will not always be so.

David A. Desilva, Unholy Allegiances
