Quote of the Week - R.C. Sproul on What a Christian Is To Be Conerned About

"As Christians, we are to be concerned about three qualities: the good, the true, and the beautiful. These three are virtues that touch the very heart of Christianity. It is a triad of values, each of which points beyond itself to the character of God. We are concerned about goodness because God is Good. We care about truth because God is Truth. We care about beauty because God is Beautiful."

-R.C. Sproul, Lifeviews, 1986

  1. I think the important aspect of this quote is that it is entirely centered around God. It is not a universalist, hippie mantra of EVERYTHING being good, truthful, and beautiful.
