zoweh

Some of you may have noticed a new list of links on the far right hand side of the blog and a new blog label both titled, "zoweh". This is a new term I have came across in reading which speaks about a new life in Christ. I've decided to label most of my Christian themed past/future post's this and please check out the links under "Zoweh" for some great Christ-centered Churches. I highly recommend the online sermons from all the churches in the list. I'll let C.S. Lewis go into more detail about Zoweh now:

"In reality, the difference between Biological life and Spiritual life is so important that I am going to give them two distinct names. The Biological sort which comes to us through nature, and which (like everything else in nature) is always tending to run down and decay so that it can only be dept up by incessant subsidies from nature in the form of air, water, food, etc., is Bios. The Spiritual life which is in God from all eternity, and which made the whole natural universe, is Zoweh. Bios has, to be sure, a certain shadowy or symbolic resemblance to Zoweh; but only the sort of resemblance there is between a photo and a place, or a statue and a man. A man who changed from having Bios to having Zoweh would have gone through as big a change as a statue which changed from being carved stone to being a real man. And that is precisely what Christianity is about. The world is a great sculptor's shop. We are the statues and there is a rumor going round the shop that some of us are some day going to come to LIFE (Zoweh)". -C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

Watch:

I ask that we all learn more about how to put Christ back in CHRISTmas here or on our own (through study of the Bible, through our Church, through our walk with Christ).
