Nancy Pearcey quotes about
doe materialistic ruling
A merely symbolic religion does not threaten the ruling regime of materialistic science.
philosophy biblical order
An idol is not necessarily something concrete, like a golden calf. It can also be something abstract, like matter. Is matter part of the created order? Sure it is. So the philosophy of materialism qualifies as an idol in the biblical sense.
christian moral wonder
When the only form of cultural commentary Christians offer is moral condemnation, no wonder we come across to non-believers as angry and scolding.
christian easter jesus
During the first 13 centuries after the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, no one thought of setting up a creche to celebrate Christmas. The pre-eminent Christian holiday was Easter, not Christmas.
block intellectual needs
We need to understand enough of modern thought to identify the ways it blocks us from living out the Gospel the way God intends, both in terms of intellectual roadblocks and in terms of economic and structural changes that make it harder to live by Scriptural principles.
data class ideas
Urban areas tend to attract members of the 'knowledge class' - people who work with ideas, data, information
christian degradation way
Christians must go beyond criticizing the degradation of American culture, roll up their sleeves, and get to work on positive solutions. The only way to drive out bad culture is with good culture.
christian real mean
Having a Christian worldview means being utterly convinced that biblical principles are not only true but also work better in the grit and grime of the real world.
white house should
The White House should always be a friend to American freedom.
challenges doe christianity
I discovered that Christianity does have the resources to meet the challenges posed by competing worldviews after all.
intellectual doe
To be intellectual does not require one to be alienated and oppositional.
idols function ifs
But things that are intrinsically good can also become idols-if we allow them to take over any of God's functions in our lives.
feelings mind world
Modern secular thought has its own dualism: It treats only the physical world as knowable and testable, while locking everything else - mind, spirit, morality, meaning - into the realm of private, subjective feelings. The so-called fact/value split.
asking answers adults
I began asking, 'How can we know Christianity is true?' Sadly, none of the adults in my life offered an answer. Eventually I decided Christianity must not have any answers, and I became an agnostic.
