If there is no final place for civil disobedience, then the government has been made autonomous, and as such, it has been put in the place of the living God.

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.

If man is not made in the image of God, nothing then stands in the way of inhumanity. There is no good reason why mankind should be perceived as special. Human life is cheapened. We can see this in many of the major issues being debated in our society today.

...that is our calling: to show that there is a reality in personal relationship, and not just words about it.

If we do not show love to one another, the world has a right to question whether Christianity is true.

Truth carries with it confrontation. Truth demands confrontation; loving confrontation, but confrontation nevertheless.

The purpose of apologetics is not just to win an argument or a discussion, but that people with whom we are in contact may become Christians and then live under the Lordship of Christ in the whole spectrum of life.
