Learning Activity #1: Week Six Devotional
Discuss the assigned section of Mere Christianity in this week’s devotions. Specifically consider the quote provided in the devotional section.

Week Six Devotional

The devotional each week is taken from Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis (which can also be found at https://www.dacc.edu/assets/pdfs/PCM/merechristianitylewis.pdf ). Read through Book III, 11: Faith.

Week Six (From Book 3, Christian Behavior, Faith, pp. 123-124).

Now Faith, in the sense in which I am here using the word, is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted, in spite of your changing moods. For moods will change, whatever view your reason takes. I know that by experience. Now that I am a Christian I do have moods in which the whole thing looks very improbable: but when I was an atheist I had moods in which Christianity looked terribly probable.

This rebellion of your moods against your real self is going to come anyway. That is why Faith is such a necessary virtue: unless you teach your moods “where they get off,” you can never be either a sound Christian or even a sound atheist, but just a creature dithering to and from with its beliefs really dependent on the weather and the state of its digestion. Consequently one must train the habit of Faith.

The first step is to recognize the fact that your moods change. The next is to make sure that, if you have once accepted Christianity, then some of its main doctrines shall be deliberately held before your mid for some time every day. That is why daily prayers and religious reading and church going are necessary parts of the Christian life. We have to be continually reminded of what we believe. Neither this belief nor any other will automatically remain alive in the mind. It must be fed. And as a matter of fact, if you examined a hundred people who had lost their faith in Christianity, I wonder how many of them would turn out to have been reasoned out of it by honest argument? Do not most people simply drift away?

Post your thoughts in the discussion forum titled Week Six Devotional. Feel free to respond to other students’ thoughts that enlighten you.
