Christian Thinking
Acts and Facts
To think Christianly is to think in terms of Revelation. For the secularist, God and theology are playthings of the mind. For Christians, God is real, and Christian theology describes His truth revealed to us. For the secular mind, religion is essentially a matter of theory: for the Christian mind, Christianity is a matter of acts and facts. The acts and facts that are the basis of our faith are recorded in the Bible. They have been interpreted and illuminated in the long history of the Church. The Christian mind is inescapably and unbrokenly conscious of the hard, factual quality of the Christian Faith…. For Christianity is so much more that an mere moral code, a recipe for virtue, a system of comfortable idealistic thought, it is also a religion of acts and facts
