Rivermont Presbyterian Church P. Ribeiro 1 Nov. 16, 97 Book 3 - Christian Behavior Summary of Chapters: 9 - Charity 10- Hope Mere Christianity C.S. Lewis Do not waste your time bothering whether you ‘love’ your neighbor; act as if you did. Aim at Heaven and you will get earth ‘thrown in’: aim at earth and you will get neither. I Co Heb. 11

Rivermont Presbyterian Church P. Ribeiro 2 Nov. 16, 97 Charity Three Theological Virtues Faith - Hope - Charity Discuss the following topics related to charity: Giving to the poor. Love is not a state of the feeling but of the will. Liking conflicts with charity. The rule is: Do not waste your time bothering... Giving and show off. Good and evil both increase at compound interest. Do not waste your time bothering whether you ‘love’ your neighbor; act as if you did. As soon as we do this we find one of the great secrets.

Rivermont Presbyterian Church P. Ribeiro 3 Nov. 16, 97 Hope Looking forward to the eternal world. No escapism wishful thinking. The Hope for Heaven led the Christians throughout the ages to do things that changed history. (The Apostles, the great men of the middle ages, The Reformers, The English Evangelicals, The Civil Rights Movement, etc.) Dealing with the inconsolable longing. The Fool’s Way The Way of Disillusioned Sensible Man The Christian Way Aim at Heaven and you will get earth ‘thrown in’: aim at earth and you will get neither. If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.
