“The Christian world, I discovered, was like the captain and crew of a vessel on the ocean without a compass, and tossed to and fro whithersoever the wind listed to blow them. When the light came to me, I saw that all the so-called Christian world was grovelling in darkness” WorldLightChristianDarknessSawsWindOceanBlowCaptainsCrewCompassVessel Book:Journal of Discourses Source: Journal of Discourses
“As Christian feel the changing winds of political climate, the blasts against their values in the media, the exclusion of the Christian faith from educational institutions, they begin to sense the dangers of complacency and of pietistical world flight.” WorldFeelsChristianPoliticalValuesReligiousMediaDangerWindInstitutionsClimateEducationalFlightComplacencyBlastChristian FaithExclusionEducational Institutions Author:Edmund Clowney
“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.” PeopleIfsShouldMayUseChristianOrderHouseFireCuttingTreeWindIntegrityTreatsEnvironmentalSakeWarmDryOverwhelmingStewardshipBarkSkeletonsDestroyersCork Author:Francis Schaeffer
