Details: Hits: 15348

Powerful, thought-provoking discussion by Dallas Willard on what CS Lewis discussed in book 4 of Mere Christianity. This was made in 2003, during the 40th anniversary of CS Lewis' death.

The following summary is from the UC SD website. There is a link to the video at the end of this summary.

Dallas Willard, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Southern California, addresses "Beyond Personality," dealing with the last book of Mere Christianityby C. S. Lewis. Willard begins his talk by showing us that the public's interest today in heroes-whether in movies, sports, politics-is about "transcending," that is, about getting beyond personalities. The hunger for transcendence, the desire to escape, entices everyone to try to get "beyond personality," to find what is real. Mere Christianity sets us on this path of discovery.

kell Keller challenges us to consider why we don't go to Christ in prayer--why we avoid being strengthened through the power of Christ's Spirit in communion with him in prayer. Why don't we allow his Spirit to work through us as thoroughly and completely as he can?

My response is to get down on my knees before the Father, this magnificent Father who parcels out all heaven and earth. I ask him to strengthen you by his Spirit - not a brute strength but a glorious inner strength -that Christ will live in you as you open the door and invite him in.
