C.S. Lewis and the Reluctant Convert - Anglican (John 3:16)
C.S. Lewis called himself "the most dejected and reluctant convert in all England." He didn't want God to exist; the universe felt safer without one. But the evidence kept piling up until, riding in his brother's motorcycle sidecar, he simply gave in. "I gave in, and admitted that God was God, and knelt and prayed." What changed him? Not arguments alone, but the surprising discovery that God was pursuing HIM—that John 3:16 was personal. God so loved the world that He gave His Son for cynical Oxford atheists too. Divine love hunts us down. Are you still running?
