A Simple Why

The idea for this site, Christianity and Caffeine, was birthed after this Summer, which was a rough season on my heart. A season of unquenchable boredom. A season leaving me so desperate for challenge, it was only met at the feet of Christ.

It was then I began to feel the constant stirring in my heart that our Lord has so much more in store for us than we realize. We seem to settle so easily for the temporal things of this world forgetting the eternal glory promised to us.

C.S. Lewis sums my whole cry up as he wrote,

"Indeed, if we consider the
unblushing promises of reward and the

staggering nature of the rewards promised
in the Gospels, it would seem that Our Lord

finds our desires, not too strong,
but too weak.

We are half-hearted creatures,

fooling about with drinkand sex and
ambition when infinite joy is offered us,

like an ignorant child who wants to go
on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot

imagine what is

meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea.

We are far too easily pleased."

The mission behind Christianity and Caffeine is to explore more deeply our call to grow and to joy. It is to ask the questions I come across in this pursuit of holiness. It is to my desire, written, to start looking up when all else is looking down.

And it is my hope, we do this thing together, all while drinking copious amounts of coffee.
