This is not an age in which to be a soft Christian.

I have come to the conclusion that none of us in our generation feels as guilty about sin as we should or as our forefathers did.

There would have been no Bach had there been no Luther.

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.

Belief does not change what is.

God has communicated to man, the infinite to the finite. The One who made man capable of language in the first place has communicated to man in language about both spiritual reality and physical reality, about the nature of God and the nature of man.

If there is no absolute by which to judge society, society is absolute.
