“This is a proverbial way of insisting that there is only one means of receiving eternal life…, only one source of knowledge of God, only one fount of spiritual nourishment, only one basis for spiritual security—Jesus alone. (If you believe that all religions lead to God and think Jesus was just one of many good spiritual teacher. You really don’t know what Jesus said. He’s a bad spiritual teacher in your view) The world still seeks its humanistic, political saviors—its Hitlers, its Stalins, its Maos, its Pol Pots—and only too late does it learn that they blatantly confiscate personal property (they come ‘only to steal’), ruthlessly trample human life under foot (they come ‘only … to kill’), and contemptuously savage all that is valuable (they come ‘only … to destroy’). ‘Jesus is right. It is not the Christian doctrine of heaven that is the myth, but the humanist dream of utopia.’” - D.A. Carson

“In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.”

- C.S. Lewis - The Abolition of Man

“To make a difference in the world, you just have to know a few great, unchanging, simple, glorious things, and be set on fire by them.”

- John Piper
