Sermon Quotes
Worldview
Augustine of Hippo
The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.
Mark Batterson
In the realm of physics, an all-encompassing theoretical framework that fully explains and links together all physical aspects of the universe is called a theory of everything. It’s also called a master theory, ultimate theory, or final theory.
Wendell Berry
The reason we need to have our false certainties shaken is so that we may see the possibility of better orders than we have.
Standing by Words (Berkeley, CA: Counterpoint, 1983)
Christopher Dawson
Any religious movement which adopts a purely critical and negative attitude to culture is therefore a force of destruction and disintegration which mobilizes against it the healthiest and most constructive elements in society-elements which can by no means be dismissed as worthless from the religious point of view. On the other hand, the identification of religion with the particular cultural synthesis which has been achieved at a definite point of time and space by the action of historical forces is fatal to the universal character of religious truth. It is indeed a kind of idolatry-the substitution of an image made by man for the eternal transcendent reality.
R.M. Harrington
Men box God into the contents of personal experiences, and then seek to define his attributes by his limited exposure to eternity.
C.S. Lewis
I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.
C.S. Lewis
We are what we believe we are.
Dorothy Sayers
In the world it is called Tolerance, but in hell it is called Despair…the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die.
Rebecca Solnit
Given a choice between their worldview and the facts, it’s always interesting how many people toss the facts.
Lee Strobel
My worldview, my philosophy, my attitudes, my relationships, my parenting, my marriage – everything has been transformed by my relationship with Christ.
N.T. Wright
History is always a matter of trying to think into the minds of people who think differently from ourselves.
Paul: A Biography

N.T. Wright
When you are questioned about some all of your worldview, and you have… to take (your worldview] off and look at it in order to see what’s going on, you may not be able to examine it very closely because it is itself the thing through which you normally examine everything else.
Paul and the Faithfulness of God, Fortress.
