Most People Do Not Realize That There

We Are Not Being True To The Artist As A Man If We Consider His Art Work Junk Simply Because We Differ With His Outlook On Life. Christian Schools, Christian Parents, And Christian Pastors Often Have Turned Off Young People At Just This Point. Because The Schools, The Pastors, And The Parents Did Not Make A Distinction Between Technical Excellence And Content, The Whole Of Much Great Art Has Been Rejected With Scorn And Ridicule. Instead, If The Artist's Technical Excellence Is High, He Is To Be Praised For This, Even If We Differ With His World View. Man Must Be Treated Fairly As Man.

Truth Carries With It Confrontation. Truth Demands Confrontation; Loving Confrontation, But Confrontation Nevertheless.

Christianity Provides A Unified Answer For The Whole Of Life.

We Should Not View Men With A Cynical Eye, Seeing Them Only As Meaningless Products Of Chance, But, On The Other Hand, We Should Not Go To The Opposite Extreme Of Seeing Them Romantically. To Do Either Is To Fail To Understand Who Men Really Are--creatures Made In The Image Of God But Fallen.

Christianity Is Realistic Because It Says That If There Is No Truth, There Is Also No Hope; And There Can Be No Truth If There Is No Adequate Base. It Is Prepared To Face The Consequences Of Being Proved False And Say With Paul: If You Find The Body Of Christ, The Discussion Is Finished, Let Us Eat And Drink For Tomorrow We Die. It Leaves Absolutely No Room For A Romantic Answer.
