“Christianity is a mind-altering reality. It changes the way a man or woman thinks.” The world has always been evil, but it is definitely more evil today than just fifty years ago, to the point of being insane. For we have eyes to see, they (future Christians) do not!
“Human thought-processes, human presuppositions and assumptions and human logic are … hostile to God. … The [distortion] of sin, the anti-God bias, has come in at the level of understanding and intellect. [By nature,] we think crookedly. We think in an ungodly way.” John Macleod – Scottish theologian
