You have no idea, right now, what some young person in your church will mean for the cause of Christ. Lean in, encourage, mentor, think big.

There is no Christian Gospel if history simply unwinds into a meaningless puddle, if the cosmos simply escapes into a cataclysmic black hole, or if the universe finally dies of exhausted energy. Without belief in a biblical eschatology, there is no Christian hope. Without a sense of perfect moral judgment in the end, the human heart is homeless.

The therapeutic concerns of the culture too often set the agenda for evangelical preaching.

You cannot coherently affirm the Christian-truth claim and the dominant model of evolutionary theory at the same time.

If the college you visit has a bookstore filled with t-shirts rather than books, find another college.

Is it our task to force the biblical doctrine of God to answer to modern culture, or (is it our task) to address modern culture with the biblical doctrine of God? If modern culture-or any culture-establishes the baseline for the doctrine of God, such a doctrine will certainly bear little resemblance to the God of the Bible.

A church determined to hold only those doctrines that a secular world finds adequately comprehensible is a church that will hold to no central vital Christian teaching whatsoever.
