Christian Mind

“Christianity is a worldview that is fundamentally word-centered. Words are central to God’s nature, purposes, and work in the Creation, Redemption, and Restoration of the world. According to Genesis 1, God spoke creation into existence.” - Breakpoint

“We need the humanities today to remind us how to be fully human as God designed us, to exercise the gifts God has given us, and to love our neighbor.” - TGC

“First, I want to think for a bit about the characteristic excellencies that help someone mature and deepen in their encounter with the Christian faith and their ability to communicate it. There are three characteristics, or you might even call them virtues, that I want to commend to you” - Jake Meador

“Conservative Christianity has sometimes had an anti-intellectual bent. Certain dangers often accompany the acquisition of theological knowledge, and Paul will deal with some of them in this chapter. But some believers have reacted to these dangers by discouraging study and scholarship. They have pitted ‘doing’ against ‘knowing.’” - BJU Seminary

“David was no stranger to chaos or change or grief or challenges. He suffered through far more than I can imagine, yet he experienced peace. He knew that deep, lasting rest doesn’t depend on us or our circumstances. It depends on God.” - TGC

“I was struck by these lines: ‘Do not stand by my grave, and cry—I am not there, I did not die.’ But Jesus wept over death (John 11:35); so should we. While it is true that the person is not consciously there at his or her grave, it is emphatically not true that they did not die!” - Randy Alcorn

“The Christian resists a culture of death–a cheapening of human life through violence of any form–yet accepts as reality that Christ, in his life, death, and resurrection, has defeated it and offers himself as a promise of new and eternal life.” - The Dispatch

“There is nothing fundamentally new in our digital era. A similar question could have been asked when writing was invented…. The word of God must enter the mind and heart to bring life, health, and fruit. As long as it stays external to us, whether in print or digital form, it can do us no good.” - Desiring God

“The real danger isn’t in believing a conspiracy theory but in adopting conspiracy thinking… ‘a stable predisposition that to one degree or another drives individuals to accept conspiracy theories.’ One of my main concerns with this mindset is how easily it makes its way from politics and the broader culture into the local church.” - TGC
