If There Is No Absolute By Which

The Purpose Of Apologetics Is Not Just To Win An Argument Or A Discussion, But That People With Whom We Are In Contact May Become Christians And Then Live Under The Lordship Of Christ In The Whole Spectrum Of Life.

In Face Of This Modern Nihilism, Christians Are Often Lacking In Courage. We Tend To Give The Impression That We Will Hold On To The Outward Forms Whatever Happens, Even If God Really Is Not There. But The Opposite Ought To Be True Of Us, So That People Can See That We Demand The Truth Of What Is There And That We Are Not Dealing Merely With Platitudes. In Other Words, It Should Be Understood That We Take This Question Of Truth And Personality So Seriously That If God Were Not There We Would Be Among The First Of Those Who Had The Courage To Step Out Of The Queue.

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.

Art Is A Reflection Of God's Creativity, An Evidence That We Are Made In The Image Of God.

Christian Art Today Should Be Twentieth-century Art.
