The generation which tore itself free from Christian religion has now produced a generation which is tearing itself free from Christian morality, and in so doing from any confidence in an objective ethic. -Carl Henry
"Christianity does not measure human life simply by its functional value to society. Human worth is fixed by divine creation in the imago Dei, and Christ’s redemptive death proclaims man’s worth even in a sinful condition." --Carl F.H. Henry
“Freedom does not establish human existence as a self-enclosed life without moral norms and duties. Either human rights and liberties have a fixed and definable content that excludes alternatives, or human rights include the right to dehumanize human nature."
--Carl F.H. Henry
The severance of ethics from fixed values and standards has brought moral chaos. Theological sanctions discarded, the modern man covets only social, and sometimes only individual, approval of his behavior.
"The scandal of Christianity from the very outset--and it is a scandal in which it gloried--is its claim that God has done here something which He has done nowhere else." -Carl F.H. Henry

“Congressman Johnson’s ascendency to speaker of the House should signal to secular America that the secular tsunami they believe has washed over our shores is still out at sea.” https://t.co/arYvPpedWM
"Fulfillment of Christian duty involves much more than inviting a neighbor to church; it includes inviting him to Christ as Lord of life--not by way of evangelistic witness alone, but through faithful exemplification of Christian citizenship." --Carl F.H. Henry
Senator Rand Paul made a special visit to our campus this morning to speak to our #BoyceCollege and #SouthernSeminary students! We were honored to host him and for a conversation and Q&A with Dr. Mohler.
You will want to watch this short clip of @albertmohler denouncing the moral equivalence around Hamas and Israel happening in so many places in elite institutions like Harvard and many others.
"Theological renewal is a farce apart from time for God in his Word. Is it too much to ask Christians in their struggle to be evangelically authentic, to do their theological homework once again, to feast on mighty truths that can rebuff the blows of an ungodly age?" -Carl Henry
"Activism today so hurries evangelical worship, prayer, and Bible reading that we risk becoming practical atheists steeped in this-worldly priorities."
Given the importance of the events unfolding in the Middle East, tomorrow’s chapel will be a panel discussion hosted by the Henry Institute on how Christians should think about the attack upon Israel.

"The final choice for modern man is between Christianity and nihilism, between the Logos of God and the ultimate meaninglessness of life and the world." -Carl Henry
"We are deceived if we think that our own schematic skills or theories or politico-economic proposals make the Bible meaningful to the contemporary world. The case for Christianity does not rest upon our ingenuity; it rests upon the incarnate and risen Lord." -Carl Henry
"When truth is lost, falsehood no longer exists; everything becomes relative to its own situation. But the church of Christ knows that the positive, good, and creative Word of God stands behind us and above us and ahead of us." --Carl F.H. Henry
