There Would Have Been No Bach Had

As Christians, We Must See That Just Because An Artist-even A Great Artist-portrays A Worldview In Writing Or On Canvas, It Does Not Mean That We Should Automatically Accept That Worldview. Good Art Heightens The Impact Of That Worldview, But It Does Not Make It True.

The Ancients Were Afraid That If They Went To The End Of The Earth They Would Fall Off And Be Consumed By Dragons. But Once We Understand That Christianity Is True To What Is There, True To The Ultimate Environment - The Infinite, Personal God Who Is Really There - Then Our Minds Are Freed. We Can Pursue Any Question And Can Be Sure That We Will Not Fall Off The End Of The Earth.

We Should Not View Men With A Cynical Eye, Seeing Them Only As Meaningless Products Of Chance, But, On The Other Hand, We Should Not Go To The Opposite Extreme Of Seeing Them Romantically. To Do Either Is To Fail To Understand Who Men Really Are--creatures Made In The Image Of God But Fallen.
