"Our business is to present that which is timeless in the particular language of our own age. The bad preacher does exactly the opposite: he takes the ideas of our own age and tricks them out in the traditional language of Christianity."
- C.S. Lewis
I can think of two questions for myself in response to this quote. The first one I think I know the answer to.
#1 What is the language of our age? I would answer Story; particularly one's personal story
....which leads to question...
#2 What timeless truth(s) is God telling through my story?

I think the real question is: CS Lewis used the phrase "tricks out"?!
Thanks for the thoughts!
