I’m giving a talk at a youth rally tomorrow to a couple hundred high school students. More than anything, I want to encourage them to pursue wisdom and knowledge — much like the writer of Proverbs counsels us all. I believe there are too many Christians who are content to think and reason poorly.
Along those lines, I like the following thought from the German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
“It is the nature, and the advantage, of strong people that they can bring out the crucial questions and form a clear opinion about them. The weak always have to decide between alternatives that are not their own.”
