Belief Does Not Change What Is.

Christ's Crucifixion Was On A Hill, By A Road, Where Everybody Who Passed By Could Not Only See His Pain, But Also His Shame. It Was Not Done In A Shadow, Hidden Away Somewhere.

We Are Not Being True To The Artist As A Man If We Consider His Art Work Junk Simply Because We Differ With His Outlook On Life. Christian Schools, Christian Parents, And Christian Pastors Often Have Turned Off Young People At Just This Point. Because The Schools, The Pastors, And The Parents Did Not Make A Distinction Between Technical Excellence And Content, The Whole Of Much Great Art Has Been Rejected With Scorn And Ridicule. Instead, If The Artist's Technical Excellence Is High, He Is To Be Praised For This, Even If We Differ With His World View. Man Must Be Treated Fairly As Man.

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.

God Has Ordained The State As A Delegated Authority; It Is Not Autonomous. The State Is To Be An Agent Of Justice, To Restrain Evil By Punishing The Wrongdoer, And To Protect The Good In Society. When It Does The Reverse, It Has No Proper Authority. It Is Then A Usurped Authority And As Such It Becomes Lawless And Is Tyranny.
