Christ is the clue to all that is.

Live in the kingdom of God in such a way that it provokes questions for which the gospel is the answer.

Modern capitalism has created a world totally different from anything known before.

Our confidence...is not in the competence of our own knowing, but in the faithfulness and reliability of the one who is known.

Christ is the clue to all that is.

The effect of the post-Enlightenment project for human society is that all human activity is absorbed into labor. It becomes an unending cycle of production for the sake of consumption. The modern concept of "built-in obsolescence" makes this clear. The cycle of production and consumption has to be kept going, and the work of the artist or craftsman who aims to create something enduring becomes marginal to the economic order.

To make the improving of our own character our central aim is hardly the highest kind of goodness. True goodness forgets itself and goes out to do the right thing for no other reason than that it is right.
