“Absent God and faith in God, the good, the beautiful, and the true become seemingly independent—and thereupon possibly competing notions.”

“Those who reject the gospel now usually do so not because they find it necessary to disbelieve in God, but simply because the whole matter seems insignificant. Indeed, there is the suspicion that many who say they believe find this possible just because it makes so little difference anyway. The word “God” is empty for us, that is, it is dead.”

“There is and can be no greater offense to the way all of us now manage our lives, than the forgiveness of sins. Also the Church has much difficulty with it. On the one hand, if we are all ok in any case, there is nothing to forgive; “acceptance” is not the same as “forgiveness.” “Accept yourself as you are” is not the same as “I forgive you,” and assuredly not as “In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, I absolve you of your sin.” In the mainline churches, and it seems increasingly in the evangelical churches, forgiveness is taken for a matter of course; but then it is not forgiveness.”
