Found It!

So here's the quote by C.S. Lewis about christianity that I was referring to in my earlier post:

"If christianity was something we were making up, of course we could make it easier. But it is not. We cannot compete, in simplicity, with people who are inventing religions. How could we? We are dealing with Fact. Of course anyone can be simple, if he has no facts to bother about."

So, if you're ever exasperated by how complex christianity seems, be encouraged :) The very fact that it can be so hard to comprehend is actually an encouragement that it could not have been created by human minds!

The quote is from Lewis's book Mere Christianity, which I would totally recommend. Although the doctrine occasionally deviates a little from Covenant Life's, his insights into the basics of Christianity will blow your mind and strengthen your faith.
