The Spiritual Activism Conference, a group of religious liberals, came together in DC to discuss “taking back religion from the conservative Christians” - but accomplished little. As I can only hope happens on Sunday here in Chicago (see post below).
Colson pinpoints the real issue: Christians believe in the authority of God's Word; our opponents reject authority and seek to validate self.
Colson's article closes with a powerful quote:
Dorothy Sayers, the great English writer, said it best: “In the world it is called Tolerance, but in hell it is called Despair, the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die.”
