Sermon Illustrations

C S Lewis wrote, “God whispers to us in our health and prosperity, but, being hard of hearing, we fail to hear God’s voice in both. It’s then that God turns up the amplifier by means of suffering. Then his voice booms.” We mustn’t be surprised at the means that God uses to teach us the lessons of life. There’s an old Arabian proverb that says “All sunshine makes a desert.” And this is true of the spiritual life.
