“I would absolutely love to go back to the simplicity of the '80s, where there wasn't texting, social media, iPhones, or smartphones. I love the fact that you would go home and check your messages.

“We [Christians] have the dilemma of using a symbol system that was not made for our worldview, to give our worldview... I think the thing we're waiting for is a genius to come forth who can either make a new symbol system which is still modern, or more properly, as symbol systems don't come overnight, a group of people to modify the symbol systems of our day, so that we can use them for our Christian message without a disadvantage.” PeopleThinkingGivingMadeStillsUseChristianCultureWaitingChristianityGroupsModernGeniusMessagesSymbolsWorldviewDilemmaDisadvantages Author:Francis Schaeffer
“Abdur Rab offers a comprehensive vision of Islam using the Quran as his sole religious textual source. He intentionally avoids the hadith literature, which he believes, and argues, has done much damage to the message of the Quran. His work provides many thought-provoking insights and should be a significant contribution to the 'Quran only' movement in modern Islam.” ShouldBelieveDoneLiteratureReligiousVisionModernMovementSourceOffersMessagesIslamInsightArguingSignificantDamageContributionThought ProvokingSoleProvokingComprehensiveQuranHadith Author:Jeffrey Lang
“I often ask myself, 'Who would Jesus vote for?' Then I start to think that he wouldn't vote at all; however, it would not be out of apathy or disinterest, but out of perfection and light. As a miracle worker, I think he would, by the power of God's teachings, the perseverance and the truth, influence in a modern sense whoever is put into office how to best serve his fellow men. One, like his skeptics, may find that impractical. But there is a message in that no man in power can slow the momentum of the will of God, and the miracles of his teachings will be forever victorious.” ThinkingMenMayLightAsksJesusForeverInfluenceTeachingModernOfficeMessagesPerfectionVoteMiracleFellowsWorkersPerseveranceGods WillApathyFellow ManMomentumSkepticPower Of GodDisinterestMiracle Worker Author:Criss Jami

“I happen to be a scientist. My background is in nuclear physics. I was a nuclear engineer. But I don't see any incompatibility at all with my religious faith and God the creator of everything and the incompatibility between when the earth was created as specified in the Bible.

“People even split up by text message, they dump each other by text. Everything seems so disposable, so throwaway, but you have to engage with that if you're writing about the modern world. You've also got all these pop references that you feel obligated to make.

“We, including many Christians, read the Bible through "eyes" conditioned by, and even accommodated to, modern Western culture plus the influences of messages and ideas from other cultures that are alien to the worldview of the biblical writers. Therefore, in order fully to understand the Bible and allow the Bible to absorb the world (rather than the world - culture - absorb the Bible) we must practice an "archaeology" of the biblical writers' implicit, assumed view of reality.” WorldIdeasRealityEyeChristianOrderCultureViewsPracticeInfluenceModernMessagesWesternIncludingAliensPlusBiblicalWorldviewThrough The EyesImplicitOther CulturesWestern CultureArchaeology Author:Roger E.
