Each generation of the church in each setting has the responsibility of communicating the gospel in understandable terms, considering the language and thought-forms of that setting.

Our relationship with each other is the criterion the world uses to judge whether our message is truthful - Christian community is the final apologetic.

There is nothing more ugly than an orthodoxy without understanding or compassion.

A compassionate open home is part of Christian responsibility, and should be practiced up to the level of capacity.

Technologically, modern man does everything he can do-he functions on this single boundary principle. Modern man, seeing himself as autonomous, with no personal-infinite God who has spoken, has no adequate universal to supply an adequate second boundary condition; and man being fallen is not only finite, but sinful. Thus man's pragmatically made choices have no reference point beyond human egotism. It is dog eat dog, man eat man, man eat nature.

Thank God for the reality for which we were created, a moment-by-moment communication with God himself.

I am convinced that when Nietzsche came to Switzerland and went insane, it was not because of venereal disease, though he did have this disease. Rather, it was because he understood that insanity was the only philosophic answer if the infinite-personal God does not exist.
