A Passion for Truth

“Minds dulled by the smothering conformity of popular culture cannot plumb the depths or explore the breadths of the distinctively Christian virtue of hopeful contentment in the face of perpetual tasks. Thus they rush toward what they think will be the termination of this, that, or another chapter in their lives. They cannot wait to finish school. Thus, for instance, graduation is not a commencement, but a conclusion. Afterwards they hurry through their lives and careers: they plod impatiently through their work week anxious for the weekend; they bid their time until vacation and plod on toward retirement—always coming to the end of things until at last things come to an end.”

--George Grant, "A Passion for Truth," Tabletalk, September 2006
