“Now, in fact, I feel that the whole of history and civilization would be unitelligible to me if it were not for my belief in God. So true is this, that I propose to argue that unless God is back of everything, you cannot find meaning in anything.” ~ Cornelius Van Til, Why I Believe in God

“Thou has formed us for thyself and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in thee.” ~ St. Augustine, Confessions

“Made for spirituality, we wallow in introspection. Made for joy, we settle for pleasure. Made for justice, we clamor for vengeance. Made for relationship, we insist on our own way. Made for beauty, we are satisfied with sentiment. But new creation has already begun to rise. Christians are called to leave behind, in the tomb of Jesus Christ, all that belongs to the brokenness and incompleteness of the present world. It is time, in the power of the Spirit, to take up our proper role, our fully human role, as agents, heralds, and stewards of the new day that is dawning. That, quite simply, is what it means to be a Christian: to follow Jesus Christ into the new world, God’s new world, which he has thrown open before us.” ~ N.T. Wright, Simply Christian
