the importance of thorough thinking for Christianity

Three quotes compiled by Donald T. Williams in Touchstone...

Bishop J.C. Ryle: "The cause of true religion has gained a great step in a parish or congregation when people begin to think. Thoughtlessness about spiritual things is one great feautre of the unconverted."

C.S. Lewis: "God has room for people with very little sense, but He wants every one to use what sense they have....God is no fonder of intellectual slackers than of any other slackers. If you are thinking of becoming a Christian, I warn you, you are embarking on something which is going to take the whole of you, brains and all."

Jesus Christ: "Thou shalt love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind."
