"The church and university can kiss and make up. Not Naturalism and Theism...Genesis 1 cannot be made to teach evolution--period. We may argue how long the creative days actually were, but the language of the Bible will not allow evolution to be causal for the world in which we now live." ~David S. Norris, Big Ideas.
In the First Century a basic faith was established. lt was not to be changed but rather sought after (Jude 3). ~Thomas Weisser
The idea of a situation in which faith is possible is only a way of stating the facts of a case in which the following two propositions hold good and are equally true: only he who believes is obedient, and only he who is obedient believes. ~Dieterich Bonhoeffer
I sought for the greatness of America in her harbors and rivers and fertile fields, and her mines and commerce. It was not there. Not until I went into the churches and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the greatness of her power. America is great because she is good; and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great. ~Alexis de Tocqueville
"we still have to come to terms with the origin of the laws of nature. And the only viable explanation here is the divine Mind." There Is A God, pg. 121 Antony Flew (former Atheist now Theist)
In the Church of Jesus Christ there can and should be no non-theologians. ~Karl Barth
The perfect church service would be one we were almost unaware of; our attention would have been on God. ~C.S. Lewis
Faith is not something that goes against the evidence, it goes beyond it. The evidence is saying to us, 'There is another country. There is something beyond mere reason'. ~Alister McGrath
Where God is at the center of things, worship inevitably follows. Where there is no spirit of worship, there God has been dethroned and displaced. ~Sinclair B. Ferguson.
The Bible, "tells how for the world's redemption God entered into history, the eternal came into time, the kingdom of heaven invaded the realm of earth, in the great events of the incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus the Christ. The first recorded words of our Lord's public preaching...'The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has drawn near; repent and believe the good news." ~F.F. Bruce
In America, from the beginning, economic liberty, political justice, and shared friendship with God have been understood as compatible, even essentially linked, human goods. ~Alan Keyes
