“The word of God is definitely above culture, in terms of what or who should have authority in our lives. However, we must remember that we are within culture, and our calling in Christ is to play our part in the redemption and transformation of individuals and cultures. I believe the recent history of the religious subculture teaches all too clearly that unless we are moving forward in seeking the genuine transformation of culture, then we are standing still and it is transforming us.” ShouldBelieveStillsPlayRememberMovingCultureIndividualI BelieveTermChristReligiousChristianityTeachOur LivesCallingAuthorityStandingShould HaveTransformationSeekingGenuineMoving ForwardRedemptionWord Of GodTransformingStanding StillSubculture Author:Steve Scott
“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

“The Christian religion seems to have fulfilled its great biological purpose, in so far as we are able to judge. It has led human thought to independence, and has lost its significance, therefore, to a yet undetermined extent.... It seems to me that we might still make use in some way of its form of thought, and especially of its great wisdom of life, which for two thousand years has proven to be particularly efficacious.” WayYearsHumansStillsTwoUseSeemsMightAbleChristianFormPurposeLostChristianityJudgingThousandIndependenceSignificanceFulfilledThousand YearsProvenLife WisdomHuman ThoughtGreat Wisdom Author:Carl Jung
“At this season of the year we draw close to Good Friday. All the eyes of the world will turn back to "a green hill far away, without a city wall," where the founder of Christianity was crucified by those forces of selfishness, greed, and lust for gain that are still at work in the world. It seems to me that unless we do something in Canada about the question of the export of war materials there will be another crucifixion - the crucifixion of a generation of young men, crucified upon a cross of nickel.” MenWorldYearsStillsWarSeemsEyeYoungTurnsForceCitiesChristianityGenerationsMaterialsWallDrawsGainsCrossesSeasonsGreenGreedLustHillsSelfishnessYoung ManCanadaFar AwayFoundersFridayCrucifixionNickelsGood FridayCity WallsGreen Hills Author:Tommy Douglas
