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.

Christian Art Today Should Be Twentieth-century Art.

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.

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.
