“The leaven works through the loaf slowly. The mustard seed grows slowly. The living water from Ezekiel’s temple gets gradually deeper. But when doctrinaire Christians get power, one of their temptations is that they want to impose their whole system, down to the jots and tittles. We must refrain from doing this not because truth is relative, because it isn’t, not because truth is a matter of community perspective and there are multiple communities, for that is incoherent, but because Jesus Christ demands that we refrain” (Empires of Dirt, p. 142).
