Unless I am convicted either by Scripture or right reason... my
conscience is a captive to the word of God. I neither can nor
will recant anything, since it is neither right nor safe to act
against conscience. I can do neither. God help me. Amen.
Martin Luther
***************
To a large degree, we are all prisoners of our genes, family beliefs,
mentors, experiences, traditions, and culture. Each represents
a bar on the window of our prison cell. Our perception of what
is true and eternal is colored by each bar. To deny this truth
is not just to add another bar, but to add one which is stronger
than the rest combined. Our only escape is through a never-ending
quest for truth. Christian integrity in a setting of intellectual
freedom demands that we never stop searching. The world and the
church are better because men and women dare question that which
has already been settled, if for no other reason than the personal
confirmation of one's belief, rather than having one's faith simply
passed on from generation to generation.
Error can be passed on as easily as truth. It can be defended
with equal vigor. But when error is passed on and defended as
truth, succeeding generations are imprisoned, and the church suffers.
Tragically, many prisoners grow accustomed to their prison cells,
and need the security and safety they offer.
Robert H. Rowland
