“The mind serves best when it's anchored in the Word of God. There is no danger then of becoming an intellectual without integrity...”

“Without moral and intellectual independence, there is no anchor for national independence.”

“Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful.”

“Without doubt, the mightiest thought the mind can entertain is the thought of God, and the weightest word in any language is its word for God.”

“The point of Christian scholarship is not recognition by standards established in the wider culture. The point is to praise God with the mind. Such efforts will lead to the kind of intellectual integrity that sometimes receives recognition. But for the Christian that recognition is only a fairly inconsequential by-product. The real point is valuing what God has made, believing that the creation is as "good" as he said it was, and exploring the fullest dimensions of what it meant for the Son of God to "become flesh and dwell among us." Ultimately, intellectual work of this sort is its own reward, because it is focused on the only One whose recognition is important, the One before whom all hearts are open.”

“No word floats without an anchoring connection within an overall structure.”
