The Worship Quote of the Week for (07/21/1998):

God Is Pure Spirit
This summer, the WORSHIP QUOTE OF THE WEEK will be taken from the many
and varied writings of C. S. Lewis, 1898-1963. This is the year we celebrate the centenary of his birth. Today, we have a few lines from PERELANDRA, the
second book in his much-celebrated space trilogy.


GOD IS PURE SPIRIT
"Didn't we agree that God is a spirit? Don't you worship Him because He is
pure spirit?'"

"Good heavens, no! We worship Him because He is wise and good. There's nothing
specially fine about being a spirit. The Devil is a spirit."

C. S. Lewis, PERELANDRA, Macmillan Company, 1944


[Highly recommended for late-summer reading! Start with the first book in the
trilogy, OUT OF THE SILENT PLANET.]

Have a great week,
