Modern man has no real "value" for the ocean. All he has is the most crass form of egoist, pragmatic value for it. He treats it as a "thing" in the worst possible sense, to exploit it for the "good" of man. The man who believes things are there only by chance cannot give things a real value. But for the Christian the value of a thing is not in itself autonomously, but because God made it.
Francis SchaefferWe as Bible-believing evangelical Christians are locked in a battle. This is not a friendly gentleman's discussion. It is a life and death conflict between the spiritual hosts of wickedness and those who claim the name of Christ.
Francis SchaefferTruth demands confrontation. It must be loving confrontation, but there must be confrontation nonetheless.
Francis SchaefferIf God exists and we are made in his image we can have real meaning, and we can have real knowledge through what he has communicated to us.
