Right Living

"All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It straightens us out and teaches us to do what is right. It is God's way of preparing us in every way, full equipped for every good thing God wants us to do."
(2 Timothy 3:16,17 NLT)
Fallacies about Christianity must always be faced as deterrents to right living, and not merely as mistakes in the mind, for it is the effect they have on our actions which matters most. So soon as we abstract them from our lives and think of them only as faults in our mental machinery, we tend to embrace the greatest fallacy of all - which is to think of Christianity as a way of looking at life instead of a way of changing it.
- Donald O. Soper in "Popular Fallacies"
