This Is Not An Age In Which

As Evangelical Christians We Have Tended To Relegate Art To The Very Fringe Of Life. The Rest Of Human Life We Feel Is More Important. Despite Our Constant Talk About The Lordship Of Christ, We Have Narrowed Its Scope To A Very Small Area Of Reality.

... You Are Not Christ's Disciple, In The Sense Of Following Him, If This Is Not Your Way Of Life: Rejected And Slain Daily!

When My Conscience Under The Holy Spirit Makes Me Aware Of A Specific Sin I Should At Once Call That Sin Sin And Bring It Consciously Under The Blood Of Christ.

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.

Ours Is A Post-christian World In Which Christianity, Not Only In The Number Of Christians But In Cultural Emphasis And Cultural Result, Is No Longer The Consensus Or Ethos Of Our Society.
