Christians have to listen to the world as well as to the Word - to science, to history, to what reason and our own experience tell us. We do not honor the higher truth we find in Christ by ignoring truths found elsewhere.

Truth is always in danger of being sacrificed on the altars of good taste and social stability.

I asked an 85 year old professor, 'What makes you cry?' He said, 'Whenever I see or hear the truth.'

There are three kinds of patriots, two bad, one good. The bad ones are the uncritical lovers and the loveless critics. Good patriots carry on a lover's quarrel with their country, a reflection of God's lover's quarrel with all the world.
