"The sweeping action of the kingdom of God, through the mission of the church, will inevitably overtake [religions].The Gospel cannot be preached to all nations without encountering all the religions..the church cannot escape a confrontation with world religions..Not only persons are changed through missions, but history itself is forever altered."--
©1993 Clark Pinnock, A Wideness in God's Mercy, p.118|

"..the director [Franco Zeffirelli] found himself in the center of a controversy upon finishing the expensive Euro-American TV miniseries Jesus of Nazareth; certain religious activists, upset that the ads promised a "human" look at Jesus, forced several sponsors to withdraw their advertising from the telecast. (The "scandal" proved groundless, since Zeffirelli's Jesus was one of the most reverently accurate ever seen in films.).." - Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
"..the eternal, almighty God can be known only as God relates to humanity as a suffering servant" [Ronald Goetz, christiancentury.org]: "..False gods are all reflections of a false and all too human self-exaltation. They are all lords who cannot and will not be servants, who are therefore no true lords, whose being is not a truly divine being.." - K Barth, Ch. Dogmatics IV, 1, p. 130

_I'm not afraid of life_ I'm not afraid of life.. But I see an old lady with a shopping bag I'm not afraid of pain I'm not afraid of life.. But I see a street crazy shivering with cold There's the threat of the nuclear bomb We know it's wrong We know it's wrong Is there a chance for peace Will the fighting ever cease Mankind's almost out of luck A maniac could blow us up I'm not afraid of life.. But I get down on my knees and I pray 'Perfectos' by Schott N.Y.C. |
