If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.

Fallacies do not cease to be fallacies because they become fashions.

Men in our own sociologically and psychologically oriented age have all kinds of explanations for the moral problems of man. But according to the Bible, it is not moral declension that causes doctrinal declension; it is just the opposite. Turning away from the truth -- that which is cognitive, that which may be known about God -- produces moral declension. Death in the City (Downers Grove, InterVarsity Press: 1969) 103

Controversy for the sake of controversy is sin. Controversy for the sake of truth is a divine command.

Justice is truth in action.

He who begins by loving Chrisitanity better than Truth will proceed by loving his own sect or church better than Christianity, and end in loving himself better than all.

One must keep on pointing out that Christianity is a statement which, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The one thing it cannot be is moderately important.

"We have nothing to fear from truth; only ignorance can hurt us...New truths always challenge old opinions. But, new truths never destroy old truths; they merely separate truth from falsehood.

Doctrine is the framework of life - the skeleton of truth, to be clothed and rounded out by the living grace of a holy life.

The popular point of view is unconsciously syncretistic: it is widely believed that "all religions really mean the same thing."

If Christianity is really true, then it involves the whole man, including his intellect and creativeness. Christianity is not just "dogmatically" true or "doctrinally" true. Rather, it is true to what is there, true in the whole area of the whole man in all of life.

The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it.

Nothing makes a man so virtuous as belief of the truth. A lying doctrine will soon beget a lying practice. A man cannot have an erroneous belief without by-and-by having an erroneous life. I believe the one thing naturally begets the other.

We should remember, therefore, the use of Christian words is no guarantee that the thinking or the view of reality being offered is biblical.

If Christianity is untrue, then no honest man will want to believe it, however helpful it might be: if it is true, every honest man will want to believe it, even if it gives him no help at all.

I think we must attack wherever we meet the nonsensical idea that mutually exclusive propositions about God can both be true.

Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.

Truth is by definition the exclusive and narrow way. Truth has few friends, and fewer lovers, and still fewer children.
