    "Virtue"(even attempted virtue), brings light..."indulgence", brings fog...".....what a great quote...

    Im always astounded at Cs Lewis' mind. How his thoughts r so deep yet very rational and practical. He is an excellent teacher to learn from.

    9:30 I literally had to pause the video to think about how interesting that point is. The idea that Christianity uniquely celebrates the body is so mind-blowing. I've never heard this before

    Not a Christian, stumbled on this by accident and I have to agree with him. 2020 the world has gone insane with their sexual desire and it is getting out of hand.

    "We learn on the one hand that we cannot trust ourselves even in our best moments, and on the other, that we need not despair even in our worst, for our failures we are forgiven."

    “A man with an obsession is a man without little sales resistance” so true. Paul said he would not be mastered by anything. We should say the same thing.

    C.S. Lewis was a brilliant thinker. So good at offering accurate analogies while not taking them too far. Lewis had such clear thinking about the important principles of Christian morality instead of getting caught up in the less important superficial appearances of impropriety. He gets to the heart of the matter so as to help illustrate the real purpose and beauty of Christian principles in order to achieve their intended purpose for and by God.

    wow, it's almost unreal how current C.S. Lewis' thoughts are. I think that they are actually even more relevant today

    • @MajesticOak
      @MajesticOak 4 роки тому +38

      I think it's more of reflection of how little human nature had changed over the decades despite the massive surface changes. Funny enough, I think C.S. Lewis would be one of the few people who would not suffer much in terms of cultural shock if he were to travel far into the future.

      That’s because they are real, pure and will last around technology advances, artistic advances because they are the base and the foundation

    I think you should consider turning these into graphic novels - introducing teens (and adults) to C.S. Lewis.

    Before we get cured, we must want to be cured.

  • @ignwins3936

    Amazing work. This is just what I needed. The part where we need to ask for forgiveness and try again and learn to lean on God for what might seem impossible to accomplish almost brought tears to my eyes. This a pearl. I'm so happy I ran into this.

  • @danielsjohnson

    I read "Mere Christianity" less than a year ago. I remember some of this but not all of it. The visual aids really help me understand this.

    This is so good! Had this exact conversation with a friend recently. The Christian rule of chastity should not be confused with the social rule of modesty.

  • @Noplayster13
    @Noplayster13 8 років тому +221

    Perfectly done. Thank you so much. It has been so much easier to introduce people to Lewis with these videos than just recommending a book to them.

    11:18 "Before we can be cured, we must want to be cured"
    I worked in the field of mental health for a few years before switching out to tech but a lot of my job in counseling consisted of this. I want to help people but people must first want to be helped. It's something about that mindset that really gets the engine running for our path to recovery when you decide in yourself that you want to be healthy. Such a simple, yet powerful, statement!

    "A man with an obsession is a man with little sales resistance."
    That describes pornography. Porn is not free speech or art. Porn is commerce. Free porn leads to paid porn as the viewer become increasingly obsessed for more. It exploits the customer along with the object.

    C S’s writing is a font of wisdom for me. This is a subject I’ve pondered for many years and just the lecture I wanted to hear and see. It’s information Western society seriously needs, there is so much wooly thinking surrounding the topic today, and wooly speaking as well. Thank you very much for this excellent video. The crucial observation for me was that “Everyone knows that the sexual appetite grows by indulgence” (6:35)

  • @aidanbenbow6682

    Hello, CSLewisDoodle! Thank you so much for adding these incredible doodles to this amazing man's book. CS Lewis was truly a mouthpiece for God, and you are God's hands! I imagine these doodles took hours upon hours to make, but what's amazing is that I sat and listened to the whole thing due to how interactive you made it! As God is working on my heart watching this, I know He is working on countless others in the same way. Thank you very much, and may the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you!
