***********************************************************************

His name was C. S. Lewis. He died in 1963 at the age of 62.

In 1927 he was a brilliant young atheist at Oxford University. During these student days he used a sharp and nimble brain to constantly throw barbed darts at Christians and Christianity.

He was a leader of the sophisticated, emancipated from the foolishness of faith, happy as a cynic, an agnostic with a song on his lips.

But then one night in Magdalen College something happened…the vacuum of nothingness became too much…you name it…he says, “I threw myself down on my knees, the most struggling convert that ever came before the throne of God, and I cried out in the night. “’Oh, God, if there is a God, let me know and let me let others know.”

From that moment when he no longer rebelled against the face and force of God, C.S. Lewis became one of the outstanding defenders of Christianity in the British Isles.

Not as a minister but a professional writer…this man who had laughed in the face of God…simply one day changed…and he who had believed in nothing…now completely, wholeheartedly, gave himself to someone.

Psalms 40:1-3
“I waited patiently for God to help me; then He listened and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out from the bog and the mire, and set my feet on a hard, firm path and steadied me as I walked along. He has given me a new song to sing, of praises to our God. Now many will hear of the glorious things He did for me, and stand in awe before the Lord, and put their trust in Him.”
