“If Christians approach our culture
merely with the aim of denouncing or humiliating it, they are unlikely to
make any impact, will almost never bring healing, and are more at risk of not
recognizing where their own thoughts and instincts are more cultural than
biblical. Similarly, if they approach our culture only with the goal of affirming
or even praising it, they are signing up for biblical unfaithfulness and cultural
irrelevance.”

“It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waist a lot of it. Life is long enough, and a sufficient generous amount has been given to us for the highest achievements if it were all well invested. But when it is wasted in heedless luxury and spent on no good activity, we are forced at last by death's final constraint to realize that it has passed away before we know it was passing”

“Aided by the advancement and increasing use of AI, the human mind is accessing new vistas, bringing previously unattainable goals within sight. These include models with which to predict and mitigate natural disasters, deeper knowledge of mathematics, and fuller understanding of the universe and the reality in which it resides. But these and other possibilities are being purchased — largely without fanfare — by altering the human relationship with reason and reality. This is a revolution for which existing philosophical concepts and societal institutions leave us largely unprepared.”
