In passing, we should note this curious mark of our own age: the only absolute allowed is the absolute insistence that there is no absolute.

The moral absolutes rest upon God's character. The moral commands He has given to men are an expression of His character. Men as created in His image are to live by choice on the basis of what God is. The standards of morality are determined by what conforms to His character, while those things which do not conform are immoral.

If 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.

No work of art is more important than the Christian's life, and every Christian is called to be an artist in this sense... The Christian's life is to be a thing of truth and also a thing of beauty in the midst of a lost and despairing world.

In fact, philosophy is universal in scope. No man can live without a world view; therefore, there is no man who is not a philosopher.

The difference between Christian thinking and the non-Christian philosopher has always been at this point. The non-Christian philosopher has always said that man is normal now, but biblical Christianity says he is abnormal now.

He who loses the arts loses the culture.
