It Is Impossible To Be A True

A Low View Of Law Always Produces Legalism; A High View Of Law Makes A Person A Seeker After Grace.

Place The Lives Of Children In Their Formative Years, Despite The Convictions Of Their Parents, Under The Intimate Control Of Experts Appointed By The State, Force Them To Attend Schools Where The Higher Aspirations Of Humanity Are Crushed Out, And Where The Mind Is Filled With The Materialism Of The Day, And It Is Difficult To See How Even The Remnants Of Liberty Can Subsist.

Paganism Is That View Of Life Which Finds The Highest Goal Of Human Existence In The Healthy And Harmonious And Joyous Development Of Existing Human Faculties. Very Different Is The Christian Ideal. Paganism Is Optimistic With Regard To Unaided Human Nature, Whereas Christianity Is The Religion Of The Broken Heart.

Just Supposing For The Sake Of The Argument That There Is A Being Of Such A Kind As That He May With Any Propriety Be Called "god", It Does Seem Antecedently Very Improbable That Weak And Limited Creatures Of A Day, Such As We Are, Should Discover Him By Our Own Efforts.... Who Could Be Discovered In That Way Would Hardly Be Worth Discovering. I Think We Ought To Stick To That Principle Rather Firmly. I Think We Ought To Be Rather Sure That We Cannot Know God Unless God Has Been Pleased To Reveal Himself To Us.

A Christian Boy Or Girl Can Learn Mathematics, For Example, From A Teacher Who Is Not A Christian; And Truth Is Truth However Learned. But While Truth Is Truth However Learned, The Bearing Of Truth, The Meaning Of Truth, The Purpose Of Truth, Even In The Sphere Of Mathematics, Seem Entirely Different To The Christian From That Which They Seem To The Non-christian; And That Is Why A Truly Christian Education Is Possible Only When Christian Conviction Underlies Not A Part But All, Of The Curriculum Of The School.
