“Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains.” Jean-Jacque Rousseau.

‘Certain new theologians dispute original sin, which is the only part of Christian theology which can really be proved.” (G.K. Chesterton, emphasis added)
“What would you think of a woman student who entered the college quad wearing an earring stamped with the mushroom cloud of Hiroshima on it? What would you think of a church building adorned with a fresco of the mass graves of Auschwitz, the worst of the Nazi death camps? Even to ask questions like that produces a kind of shudder of embarrassment. The images are so grotesque and abhorrent and shocking because of Western history in the last 50 or 60 years, but that was the sort of shocking overtone associated with the word cross or crucifixion in the first century…Yet today, crosses dangle from our ears. We sport them upon our lapels... We put them on our buildings. Our bishops wear them around their necks. Nobody’s embarrassed, and thus it is hard to hear the sheer audacity of a verse like 1 Corinthians 1:18.” D.A. Carson
