Quote
We have become used to obstructionist ideas. In the name of modernisation we are unconsciously hindering the natural flow of life. The fact that we are irritated, depressed, and distressed speaks volumes of our illogical ambitions to acquire control of this planet.

Quote
Saying, 'I don't know' is the beginning of the journey into self-discovery. Saying, 'I don't know and I don't care to know' is an admission of staleness and irrelevance.

What they have to say to their own generation is said so at cross-purposes and with such apparent irrelevance that it is not understood.

Quote
By our uncritical pursuit of relevance we have actually courted irrelevance; by our breathless chase after relevance without a matching committment to faithfulness, we have become not only unfaithful, but irrelevant; by our determined efforts to redefine outselves in ways that are more compelling to the modern world than are faithful to Christ, we have lost not only our identity but our authority and our relevance. Our crying need is to be faithful as well as relevant
