Quote of the week

...the assumption [is] that religion is a private hobby, basically there to support believers in trouble. In stark contrast stands the world-view shaping, visionary impact of Christian faith...The idea in modern life that 'religion' is a private matter is itself a dangerous one. In failing to accept that everyone lives by faith, out of a vision of living grounded in a world-view -- i.e. is deeply 'religious' -- masks motives, and shuts out the wisdom of the ages, not least those incarnated in the Lord Jesus Christ.
