Weekly insights from Chuck Colson and great saints of the past and present

In our day, when the very idea of truth is in question, Christians must be clear about where we stand.

“Postmodernists, in fact, trust no writings, believing that history is nothing but a record of cultural prejudice, having been written by history’s victors, particularly white Anglo-Saxon males. What’s more, any truth claim, particularly one about ultimate reality, is offensive in this relativistic era. This has resulted in a cultural atmosphere in which to say one believes in the Bible is to invite derision.”
-Chuck Colson, The Faith

“Therefore he that lives according to the truth lives according to God, not according to himself. For God said, ‘I am the truth.’ But he that lives not so, but according to himself, lives according to lying; not that man (whom God, that never created a lie, did create) is the author of lying, but because man was created upright, to live according to his Creator and not himself, that is, to do His will rather than his own. But not to live as he was made to live, this is a lie.”
-Augustine, City of God

“For only God’s witness is to be believed about God, that is about Himself, Who has furnished a witness either in the Law or Prophet or Gospel or Apostle, or in the Spirit to each individual man about Himself, through Himself or an angel. But human argument or skill or any vainglorious philosophy, which is unsound even on the nature of the world, cannot be our teacher about God, but is to be regarded as sacrilegious and impious to God.”
-Columbanus, Sermon II

“As I travel about and speak in many countries, I am impressed with the number of times I am asked by Christians about the loss of reality in their Christian lives. Surely this is one of the greatest, and perhaps the greatest reason for a loss of reality: that while we say we believe one thing, we all the spirit of the naturalism of the age to creep into our thinking, unrecognized.”
-Francis A. Schaeffer, True Spirituality

What is some were unfaithful? Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God? By no means! Let God be true though every one were a liar… Romans 3:3, 4
