Some of the simplest of truths are also some of the most difficult of truths, but such is Christianity: 'If it's not about Christ, it's not about life.

...Just as some men are counted as book smart but not street smart, a man of sound theology is not necessarily a man of sound politics. If he is naive and ill-informed in the present culture, or in the spirit of the times, it is possible that he will enact his right faith for the wrong forces.
