Matt Chandler - The Myth That's True (C.S. Lewis' Conversion)

A portion from a sermon given by Pastor Matt Chandler in part 3 of the "Great Cause" sermon series.

This is the sermon where Matt talks about the conversion of C.S. Lewis, in which God went after his intellect by having J.R. Tolkien tell him, "This is a myth that is true".

Cool. This makes me think about my story! I like that Lewis anecdote. I had to feel a lot of pain (because I'm stubborn) before I finally let go of that which I grasped on this earth, turned my eyes up, and submitted to His love.

I was called and converted at a very young age. Age 9. I remember my dad walking me through the Bible and the gospel and when I recieved Jesus I cried because I felt this joy I never felt before and it was the Holy Spirit. I totally remember everything and how I felt. I went to school the next day and told all my friends about it.
