“If the Story is not accurate to reality, it's not any kind of truth at all. So it can never be 'my truth' or 'your truth,' even though we may believe it. It can only be our delusion or our mistake or our error, but it can never be our 'truth.'” IfsBelieveKindMayStoriesRealityMistakeErrorsDelusionAccurateMy Truth Author:Greg Koukl
“Our innate, built-in human value is the reason we have binding duties or obligations towards each other that we don't have towards any other kind of thing. It's also the reason we have unalienable human rights. If man's God-given, special value falls, then unalienable human rights fall, too.” IfsMenHumansKindReasonValuesFallGivenRightsSpecialDutyBuiltHuman RightsObligationInnateBindingHuman Values Author:Greg Koukl
“Christianity is actually "true Truth," as Francis Schaeffer used to put it. God really does exist, Heaven actually is real (along with Hell), Jesus really did live and He did the things the historical records - the Gospels - say He did, the resurrection of Christ really happened, and there really is hope each of us can count on for "the kind of perfect world our hearts have always longed for."” WorldHeartKindDoeRealUsedJesusHeavenChristPerfectChristianityHellRecordsHappenedHistoricalResurrectionA Perfect World Author:Greg Koukl
“When we encounter new details of our world we fill in more of the spaces. When we discover details that don't seem to fit with our view of the world, we have a kind of "crisis of faith," even if our worldview is not especially religious. We're forced to redraw our "map" a bit.” WorldKindReligiousFitCrisisWorldview Author:Greg Koukl
“The word "Christian" means something in particular. The basic outline and general truths and doctrines central to Christianity have been hammered out over 2000 years of reflection on the teachings of Jesus and his apostles. If you disagree with these foundational concerns - the kinds of things I focus on in The Story of Reality - then you're simply not a Christian.” KindMeanRealityChristianJesusChristianityFocusTeachingReflectionConcernDisagree Author:Greg Koukl
