Truth Demands Confrontation. It Must Be Loving

As Evangelical Christians We Have Tended To Relegate Art To The Very Fringe Of Life. The Rest Of Human Life We Feel Is More Important. Despite Our Constant Talk About The Lordship Of Christ, We Have Narrowed Its Scope To A Very Small Area Of Reality.

This Equation Of The Impersonal Plus Time Plus Chance Producing The Total Configuration Of The Universe And All That Is In It, Modern People Hold By Faith.

Doctrinal Rightness And Rightness Of Ecclesiastical Position Are Important, But Only As A Starting Point To Go On Into A Living Relationship - And Not As Ends In Themselves.

We Cannot Deal With People Like Human Beings, We Cannot Deal With Them On The High Level Of True Humanity, Unless We Really Know Their Origin-who They Are. God Tells Man Who He Is. God Tells Us That He Created Man In His Image. So Man Is Something Wonderful.

What We, The Christian Community, Have To Do Is To Refuse Men The Right To Ravish Our Land, Just As We Refuse Them The Right To Ravish Our Women; To Insist That Somebody Accepts A Little Less Profit By Not Exploiting Nature.
