Truth Is Knowable
Biblical Christianity is a thinking man’s religion; it is a religion of the mind. It consists of specific truths, and these truths are knowable. We make choices based upon what we know. It is, therefore, crucial to know what we believe and why. It is essential to the work of God’s kingdom to think properly.
Patrick Morley, Seven Seasons of the Man in the Mirror, p. 282
Uncomfortable Christianity
The most comfortable type of religion is always a vague religion, nebulous and uncertain, cluttered up with forms and ritual…. There is nothing so uncomfortable as clear-cut Biblical truths that demand decisions.

Spiritual Boredom
The greatest sign that believers are not illuminated is that there is no delight and savor of spiritual things. They can logically defend their salvation… but they have never seen the beauty and glory of their salvation…. most believers are easily bored with spiritual things. That is never the condition of a believer who has seen a particular truth with illuminated eyes.

Absolutes in a World of Relativity
Without ‘absolutes’ revealed from without by God Himself, we are left rudderless in a sea of conflicting ideas about manners, justice, and right and wrong, issuing from a multitude of self-opinionated thinkers. We could never know who God is, how He is to be worshipped, or wherein true happiness lies. If virtue is sought … as a road to temporal happiness, the striving and the progress starts and ends in self — but selfishness is itself a vice! No attitude of mind which does not acknowledge dependence upon Almighty God and seek to glorify Him has any element of good or virtue in it.
