Cool "quote". . . .

"The world does not consist of 100 per cent Christians and 100 per cent non-Christians. There are people (a great many of them) who are slowly ceasing to be Christians but who still call themselves by that name; some of them are clergymen. There are other people who are slowly becoming Christians though they do not yet call themselves so. There are people who do not accept the full Christian doctrine about Christ but who are so strongly attracted by Him that they are His in a much deeper sense than they themselves understand. There are people in other religions who are being led by God’s secret influence to concentrate on those parts of their religion which are in agreement with Christianity, and who thus belong to Christ without knowing it…" - CS Lewis

Some days I'm not sure where I'm at in this manuscript, it's rather long for a quote. . . isn't it. . . .

not at all. i think this quote is profound and discerned by personal experience as much as scriptural truth. i feel the same drift in my own soul often and have to make intentional choices to ensure i'm moving in the right direction. thanks for this reminder steve. what book is this from?
