J. Gersham Machen - Christian Scholarship and Evangelism"I wonder when we shall have that revival of learning which we so much need, and which I verily believe might be, in the providence of God, as was the Renaissance of the fifteenth century, the precursor of a reformation in the church . . ." | |

C. S. Lewis - The Weight of Glory"We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased . . ." | |

Francis Schaeffer - The Mark of a Christian"Through the centuries men have displayed many different symbols to show that they are Christians. They have worn marks in the lapels of their coats, hung chains about their necks, even had special haircuts."Of course, there is nothing wrong with any of this, if one feels it is his calling.

C. S. Lewis - Learning in a Time of WarA sermon preached in the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Oxford, Autumn, 1939"A University is a society for the pursuit of learning. As students, you will be expected to make yourselves, or to start making yourselves, in to what the Middle Ages called clerks: into philosophers, scientists, scholars, critics, or historians. And at first sight this seems to be an odd thing to do during a great war. What is the use of beginning a task which we have so little chance of finishing? Or, even if we ourselves should happen not to be interrupted by death or military service, why should we -- indeed how can we -- continue to take an interest in these placid occupations when the lives of our friends and the liberties of Europe are in the balance? Is it not like fiddling while Rome burns?" | |

John Piper - The Fall of Satan and the Victory of ChristThis sermon, preached by the Rev. John Piper of Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis, MN, is a concise and very encouraging treatment of the nature of Satan's promotion of evil in the world. Though the devil exercises power, it is under God's sovereignty and serves God's good and gracious, though at times mysterious, purposes. | |
