“I think Dr. Ben Carson is a unique political personality. He's what we call a conviction politician. He actually believes in what he says. Here's a fellow who had been a neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins for over 30 years. Babies conjoined at the head, he is the one that did that. He's a superstar. Ben Carson steps away from medicine, looks at the political environment around him, and he is aghast at what he sees.” ThinkingYearsBelieveLooksPoliticalStepsEnvironmentBabyPersonalityPoliticianUniqueFellowsMedicineConvictionDrsSuperstarHopkinsNeurosurgeonsBen CarsonPolitical EnvironmentAghast Author:Daniel Henninger

“In face of this modern nihilism, Christians are often lacking in courage. We tend to give the impression that we will hold on to the outward forms whatever happens, even if God really is not there. But the opposite ought to be true of us, so that people can see that we demand the truth of what is there and that we are not dealing merely with platitudes. In other words, it should be understood that we take this question of truth and personality so seriously that if God were not there we would be among the first of those who had the courage to step out of the queue.” PeopleIfsGivingShouldFirstsHappensWould BeChristianFacesFormStepsModernPersonalityOughtDemandUnderstoodOppositesImpressionBeing TrueLackingNihilismWhatever HappensPlatitudesQueues Author:Francis Schaeffer
