Just Because Something Is Beautifully Written Does

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.

Each Generation Of The Church In Each Setting Has The Responsibility Of Communicating The Gospel In Understandable Terms, Considering The Language And Thought-forms Of That Setting.

We Must Realize That The Reformation World View Leads In The Direction Of Government Freedom. But The Humanist World View With Inevitable Certainty Leads In The Direction Of Statism. This Is So Because Humanists, Having No God, Must Put Something At The Center, And It Is Inevitably Society, Government, Or The State.

They Are Equal Reality. They Are Two Streams Of Present Reality, Both Equally Promised. The Christian Dead Are Already With Christ Now, And Christ Really Lives In The Christian. Christ Lives In Me. The Christ Who Was Crucified, The Christ Whose Work Is Finished, The Christ Who Is Glorified Now, Has Promised (john 15) To Bring Forth Fruit In The Christian, Just As The Sap Of The Vine Brings Forth The Fruit In The Branch.

Christians, Of All People, Should Not Be Destroyers. We Should Treat Nature With An Overwhelming Respect. We May Cut Down A Tree To Build A House, Or To Make A Fire To Keep The Family Warm. But We Should Not Cut Down The Tree Just To Cut Down The Tree. We May, If Necessary, Bark The Cork Tree In Order To Have The Use Of The Bark. But What We Should Not Do Is To Bark The Tree Simply For The Sake Of Doing So, And Let It Dry And Stand There A Dead Skeleton In The Wind. To Do So Is Not To Treat The Tree With Integrity.
