Shortest Way Home

In Mere Christianity, C. S. Lewis writes,

I may repeat ‘do as you would be done by’ until I am black in the face, but I cannot really carry it out till I love my neighbor as myself: and I cannot learn to love my neighbor as myself till I learn to love God: and I cannot learn to love God except by learning to obey him. And so we are driven on to something more inward—driven on from social matters to religious matters.

For the longest way round is the shortest way home.

Shortest Way Home is a collaboration from two friends to encourage our brothers and sisters in Christ to continue on the longest way round because it is the shortest way home. Along the way, you will feel great joys and severe pains. There is steadfast hope in Jesus Christ that will lead us home.
