The Lord is the General, and he has the right . . . the sovereign right . . . to put us where he wants in the battle.

Christian art today should be twentieth-century art.

Most people catch their presuppositions from their family and surrounding society the way a child catches measles. But people with more understanding realize that their presuppositions should be chosen after a careful consideration of what world-view is true.

Apostasy must be called what it is, spiritual adultery.

Belief does not change what is.
