No totalitarian authority nor authoritarian state can tolerate those who have an absolute by which to judge that state and its actions. The Christians had that absolute in God's revelation.

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

So our building of the visible Church becomes much like any natural business function, using natural means and natural motives.

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

If man has been kicked up out of that which is only impersonal by chance , then those things that make him man-hope of purpose and significance, love, motions of morality and rationality, beauty and verbal communication-are ultimately unfulfillable and thus meaningless.

I am afraid that as evangelicals, we think that a work of art only has value if we reduce it to a tract.

...when I accept Christ as my Savior... I am immediately in a new and living relationship with each of the three persons of the Trinity.
