“Christ did not come to civilize. He came to save. Civilization is not the solution; it does not destroy the works of the devil. All civilization aims at world improvement, at the gradual elimination of the curse; it is a process of evolution. It is like a man who is suffering from a terrible disease, and the physician who comes to help him gives him a salve to apply. He treats the skin symptoms but the source of the disease he never considers and never touches. Such is a boasted and progressive civilization. It is a delusion.” MenWorldGivingDoeHelpingChristianSufferingProcessChristSourceEvolutionTerribleCivilizationDiseaseSolutionsDevilSkinsTreatsAimImprovementCurseDelusionProgressivePhysiciansSymptomsElimination Author:Arno C.

“Manliness has been defined as assertion of the self. Womanliness has been defined as the nurturing of selves other than our own - even if we quite lose our own in the process. (Women are supposed to find in this loss their true fulfillment.) But every individual person is born both to assert herself or himself and to act out a sympathy for others trying to find themselves - in Christian terms, meant to love one's self as one loves others ... Jesus never taught that we should split up that commandment - assigning 'love yourself' to men, 'love others' to women.

“Today we have a weakness in our education process in failing to understand the natural associations between the disciplines. We tend to study all our disciplines in unrelated parallel lines. This tends to be true in both Christian and secular education. This is one of the reasons why evangelical Christians have been taken by surprise at the tremendous shift that has come in our generation.” Has BeensReasonTodayChristianProcessNaturalLinesStudyTakenFailingGenerationsDisciplineWeaknessSurpriseBeing TrueReason WhyAssociationSecularParallelsEvangelicalOur GenerationParallel Lines Book:Escape from Reason Source: Escape from Reason
“Christians can not truly evangelize unless they are prepared to be evangelized in the process. In sharing the good news, people are enriched by the spiritual insights, honest questions and depth of devotion demonstrated by those of other faiths. Including others involves listening to them, learning from them. Much of what exists in other faiths may not necessarily be hostile to the kingdom. Christians can learn a lot from other walks of life.” PeopleMayChristianSpiritualProcessWalksHonestListeningNewsPreparedDepthIncludingInsightDevotionKingdomsCan NotGood NewsHostileWalks Of LifeSpiritual InsightIncluding Others Author:Eddie Gibbs
“The Christian message, like an ecosystem, is about process. In an ecological sense, the cross symbolizes a willingness to die so that the continuation of life might be served.
