We must let go of the worldly motivations that drive us, praying to be motivated solely by a genuine desire to submit our minds to God's Word - and then to use that knowledge in service to others.

Darwinism has become our culture's official creation myth, protected by a priesthood as dogmatic as any religious curia.

Morality is always derivative. It stems from one's worldview.

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.
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.
