Genuine freedom is possible only where there is genuine love. And genuine love is not possible without truth.

Love cannot long survive without truth. Nor is truth really truth unless it is integrated with love.

If creators of Christian culture hope to produce work that will bear good fruit, we must draw our life from the true source - our living Savior. He is real. He is present. But all too often we reduce him to an abstraction, giving him intellectual assent, but not our hearts.
