The Church Is Something Beautiful

A Christian Should Use These Arts To The Glory Of God, Not Just As Tracts, Mind You, But As Things Of Beauty To The Praise Of God. An Art Work Can Be A Doxology In Itself.

The Moral Absolutes Rest Upon God's Character. The Moral Commands He Has Given To Men Are An Expression Of His Character. Men As Created In His Image Are To Live By Choice On The Basis Of What God Is. The Standards Of Morality Are Determined By What Conforms To His Character, While Those Things Which Do Not Conform Are Immoral.

Some Psychological And Sociological Conditioning Occurs In Every Man's Life And This Affects The Decisions He Makes. But We Must Resist The Modern Concept That All Sin Can Be Explained Merely On The Basis Of Conditioning.

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.

Our Trusting The Lord Does Not Mean That There Are Not Times Of Tears. I Think It Is A Mistake As Christians To Act As Though Trusting The Lord And Tears Are Not Compatible.
