                    [013]  A MESSAGE FROM A POEM - ACADEMIC CHRISTIANITY
If you did a survey in universities and places of higher learning, and in liberal theological colleges in our days, you would find very few Christians.  The mind of man today is bent on humanism and the search for rationalism in an existential

This is a “constructed poem” meaning it follows a pattern.  It is a series of injunctions or commands with specific structure that I will explain.
Let us take the opening line – “Take God’s truth and make it yours, and your vain ways forsake.”  I

We deal with a subject today we often like to forget about.  When we are young we give it little thought but when we are old, it tends to preoccupy our minds a lot more.
This poem is not so much about the subject of death itself, as it is

Wayne Brouwer told about a very sick man home on hospice. His doctor had come to see him that day, and as the doctor was leaving the room, the patient said, "Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side."

                    He made free use of Christian vocabulary. He talked about the blessing of the Almighty and the Christian confessions which would become the pillars of the new government. He assumed the earnestness of a man weighed down by historic responsibility. He handed out pious stories to the press,

                    In other words, we begin our Christian life in God’s grace, and then quickly abandon grace, and try to live our life, and almost to continue to earn our salvation, - by what we do, by our works.
Author Jerry Bridges puts it like this: "We tend to give an unbeliever just enough of the gospel to get

                    Many years ago in St. Louis a Christian man was completing some business with a lawyer. Before leaving the office, the Christian turned to the lawyer and said: "I have often wanted to ask you a question, but I have been a coward." The lawyer replied, "I didn’t think you were afraid of anything!"

                    C.S. Lewis in "Mere Christianity" said about Jesus, “A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic—on the level with a man who says he is a poached egg—or he would be the devil of hell. You must take your choice.
