“They call you heartless; but you have a heart and I love you for being ashamed to show it.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

“What brings credibility to the gospel is not more hour-long sermons. What brings credibility, passion, and, ultimately, belief is seeing the gospel at work … the incarnate gospel. What will move skeptics, cynics, and critics are Christians who love God and love their neighbors—including neighbors who don’t look like them—by willingly and humbly serving their needs.”
― Eugene Cho, Overrated: Are We More in Love with the Idea of Changing the World Than Actually Changing the World?

“A religion true to its nature must also be concerned about man’s social conditions.… Any religion that professes to be concerned with the souls of men and is not concerned with the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them, and the social conditions that cripple them is a dry-as-dust religion.7”

“literature enlarges our world of experience to include both more of the physical world and things not yet imagined, giving the “actual world” a “new dimension of depth” (Lewis, Of Other Worlds 29). This makes it possible for literature to strip Christian doctrines of their “stained glass” associations and make them appear in their “real potency” (37), a possibility Lewis himself realized in the Narnia series and the space trilogy.”
― Leland Ryken, The Christian Imagination: The Practice of Faith in Literature and Writing
