Lifeviews: Make a Christian Impact on Culture and Society
Overview
How to confront moral and social issues with a biblical response.
Top Highlights
“Our task is not to escape the secular, but secularism. We must embrace the world without embracing worldliness.” (Page 38)
“But the contradictory life is a confusing life, a life of inconsistency and incoherence. Its bottom line is chaos.” (Page 25)
“Often, in the minds of many Christians, the distinction between sacred and secular is the distinction between the good and the bad, but that is not the way it has been used in church history. Secular was simply a different sphere of operation.” (Page 32)
“The result is a basic inconsistency in our lives, an inconsistency we are often unaware of. We respond. We react. We feel. But we are not always sure why we respond the way we do.” (Page 22)
“Is justice good or not? Does justice matter? Is justice restricted to the greatest number or is it to be sought for all?” (Page 86)
