God is dead not because He doesn't exist, but because we live, play, procreate, govern, and die as though He doesn't.

It would take a God with equal measures of truth, love, and justice to [give us a metanarrative]. Since I had abandoned that faith in God and considered myself secular, that wasn't a real option for me.

Repentance is replete with radical implications for a fundamental change of mind not only turns us from the sinful past, but also transforms our life plan, ethics, and actions as we begin to see the world through God's eyes rather than ours. That kind of transformation requires the ultimate surrender of self.

I do not believe one can experience conversion or the fullness of the Christian life apart from the church.

I was deepening my understanding of what we call the cultural commission, the command to take dominion and bring righteousness to our culture.

If our culture is to be transformed, it will happen from the bottom up - from ordinary believers practicing apologetics over the backyard fence or around the barbecue grill.

Knowing that we are fulfilling God's purpose is the only thing that gives rest to the restless human heart.
