“I will be emphasizing that philosophy is a form of spiritual warfare. And what do I mean by that? I mean that God expects us to think His thoughts after Him. God wants to govern our lives not only in the ethical decisions that we make (certainly He’s concerned about that), not only in our worship—He wants us to worship; He wants us to read His word; He wants us to receive the sacraments; He wants us to join together with God’s people—but He also claims lordship over the mind.” (source)
“What is the final criterion? What is the ultimate standard for good reasoning? And if God exists, He is the standard. He is the font of wisdom. He is the one who knows all the relationships between everything in the world that He has made, and when He comes to you and offers you an argument, you can be sure that that’s right.” (source)
“So our feelings are influenced by our thinking and influenced by our choices, and our choices are influenced by our feelings and so on and so forth.” (source)
“The Father, I believe, is often connected with the idea of authority” (source)
“Identify four aspects of life that involve philosophy” (source)
