Which Maketh No Sense

“Secularism is the idea that it is possible for a society to function as a coherent unit without reference to God. It is the idea that a culture can operate on the basis of a metaphysical and religious agnosticism. It is the idea that we can understand what human rights are without knowing what a human being actually is.”

The Revival of Ages

“Grant us right now the revival of ages—
Just nod Your head, and it will be done.
Just nod Your head, and it is done for Your now.
All it would take from You is a word.
I pray that Your Spirit would fall down upon us
From unlikely directions, from every direction.
Surprise us, I ask. Upend us, I pray.
Completely undo us, and remake us all over . . .
Build a great church here, a tower of grace,
With thousands upon thousands of stones that are living.”

21 Prayers, p. 93

A Broad Answer

“Culture and societies and generations need Christ also. The Lord Jesus Christ is not just the answer to our personal dilemma. He is the eternal Logos of God, and as such, He is the spoken Answer to every legitimate question that any given society might pose, or all of mankind for that matter. His Lordship applies to politics, culture, entertainment, media, and His answers to our rebellions and follies are just exactly what we need to hear.”
