Modern Man Has Both Feet Firmly Planted

Truth Demands Confrontation. It Must Be Loving Confrontation, But There Must Be Confrontation Nonetheless.

The Command Is To Love Him, Not Just To Think About Him, Or Do Things For Him. We Are Not To Stop With A Proper Legal Relationship - For Example, To Think Of A Man As Legally Lost, Which He Is, In The Sight Of A Holy God - Without Thinking Of Him As A Person. Saying This, We Can Suddenly See That Much Evangelism Is Not Only Sub-christian, But Subhuman - Legalistic And Impersonal.

The Christian In The One Whose Imagination Should Fly Beyond The Stars.

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.

The Central Problem Is Always In The Midst Of The People Of God, Not In The Circumstances Surrounding Them.
