“I think the most important thing is to take the long view on things.

“In my view, Jan Masaryk was thoroughly corrupt, who bumped himself off because he saw at last where his moral cowardice and ideological 'Playboyery' had led him. I vividly remember visiting him in Washington, fat, slightly tight, coming into the room looking like a broken-down butler with his master, the little Communist, Clementis, - and saying in a loud voice: 'Has anyone seen an Iron Curtain?

“It is important to realize that a large percentage of what we hear or see on the news focuses on those places where there is violent conflict...It gives us a slightly or very distorted view of what is going on because there are many other parts of the planet where there is no violent conflict, but that is not on the news.” GivingImportantRealizingViewsPlanetsConflictNewsViolentPercentages Author:Eckhart Tolle
“The argument culture urges us to approach the world - and the people in it - in an adversarial frame of mind. It rests on the assumption that opposition is the best way to get anything done: The best way to discuss an idea is to set up a debate; the best way to cover news is to find spokespeople who express the most extreme, polarized views and present them as 'both sides'; the best way to settle disputes is litigation that pits one party against the other; the best way to begin an essay is to attack someone; and the best way to show you're really thinking is to criticize.” PeopleThinkingWorldWayMindIdeasDoneShowsCultureSidesViewsPartyApproachNewsArgumentExtremesDebateBest WaySettlingAssumptionOppositionUrgesCriticizeBoth SidesEssaysDisputesPitsFrame Of MindSpokespeople Author:Deborah Tannen

“Without a thorough and deeply rooted understanding of the biblical view of truth as revealed, objective, absolute, universal, eternally engaging, antithetical and exclusive, unified and systematic, and as an end in itself, the Christian response to postmodernism will be muted by the surrounding culture or will make illicit compromises with the truth-impoverished spirit of the age. The good news is that truth is still truth, that it provides a backbone for witness and ministry in postmodern times, and that God's truth will never fail.” StillsEndsAgeChristianSpiritCultureUnderstandingViewsFailingTruth IsNewsUniversalAbsolutesResponseObjectivesCompromiseWitnessRootedMinistryBiblicalEngagingGood NewsExclusiveSystematicThoroughBackboneUnifiedPostmodernismPostmodern Author:Douglas Groothuis

“Henri Nouwen says, "When we come to realize that ... only God saves, then we are free to serve, then we can live truly humble lives." Nouwen changed his approach from "selling pearls," or peddling the good news, to "hunting for the treasure" already present in those he was called to love - a shift from dispensing religion to dispensing grace.
