If your salvation does not include living with God in beauty, truth, and goodness, it’s going to be a very dry haul. And so much of our difficulty today for Christians in this world, and for the world without a vital Christianity in its midst—so much of the problem comes from having a Christ who has no association with beauty, maybe not even truth, not goodness. . . . A Christ without beauty, truth, and goodness is a testimony against the goodness of God, the grandeur of God.
