“All love, all real, life-changing love, is substitutionary sacrifice. You have never loved a broken person, you have never loved a guilty person, you have never loved a hurting person except through substitutionary sacrifice.”
― Timothy Keller, Jesus the King: Understanding the Life and Death of the Son of God

“Freedom’s utter frustration in fascism is, indeed, the inevitable result of the liberal philosophy, which claims that power and compulsion are evil, that freedom demands their absence from a human community. No such thing is possible; in a complex society this becomes apparent. This leaves no alternative but either to remain faithful to an illusionary idea of freedom and deny the reality of society, or to accept that reality and reject the idea of freedom. The first is the liberal’s conclusion; the latter the fascist’s.”

“Wise men speak when they have something to say, fools speak because they have to say something”

“In desperation, she started going to church and converted to Christianity, But did she talk about her painful past at church? Not on your life. She told me “I am afraid of people finding out how sinful my past was- afraid of being treated as "damaged' or 'used goods." How tragic that people are afraid to be vulnerable in the very place where they should be finding healing. Even as churches clearly communicate moral truths of Scripture, they must also become places of refuge for victims of the sexual revolution who have been hurt by its lies.”
