“In the meantime, modernity, that once proud heresy, has visibly started to topple. Postmodernists are running around gleefully, just like looters after an earthquake in a great city, but postmodernity’s self-confessed parasitic relativism means that it has a cultural staying power which can be measured in weeks.

“When we open our Bibles to read the Word of God, or attend worship in order to hear it declared, we should feel like we are standing on a rocky beach near the base of Niagara Falls. God’s Word fills all the available space.”
“Formal worship does not create a secular/sacred distinction; it obliterates it. I give one day in seven because all seven are His. I give ten percent because one hundred percent is His.”
