We who preach the gospel must not think of ourselves as public relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum. A.W. Tozer
Therefore let God-inspired Scripture decide between us; and on whichever side be found doctrines in harmony with the word of God, in favor of that side will be cast the vote of truth. --Basil of Caesarea
Once you learn to discern, there's no going back. You will begin to spot the lie everywhere it appears.

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service. 1 Timothy 1:12

The Light of Christ

“The light is fully aware of the aggressive war being waged against it by the darkness of sinful men.  But it still shines.  As long as He continues to shine, Christ will have enemies fighting Him.  And that is also true of those who have the light of Christ in their hearts and lives.  If the darkness of this world does not fight against us, we may well question whether what we thought was light in us may not after all be darkness.  There can be no peaceful coexistence between darkness and light.”

Spiros Zodhiates, “Was Christ God? A Defense of the Deity of Christ”  p.163-164
