Francis Stiles -- "Neo-evangelicalism is a religious philosophy. It attempts to reach and minister to man through his felt needs. It seeks to commend man for his achievements and realign his energies for good. It emphasizes unity at the expense of truth and reduces the Biblical requirements of purity and separation unto God until they are obscure. Man and his present circumstances, rather than God and His eternal precepts, are the core of its concern.

The most beautiful word of all is you. This is the word of relationship, of looking into another face, of thanking, inviting, asking ("What do you mean?"), forgiving, permitting ("Of course you may"), admiring, encouraging, assigning, begging, giving ("This is for you"), serving, reaching, searching ("Where are you?"), finding ("Oh, there you are!"), blessing. Also the word of accusing, criticizing, and cursing, but even those are not ignoring and turning away but a kind of relating. I love the sound of the word you, both for hearing and for saying! The word you is simultaneously bold and therefore shy, it is firm but at the centre it is soft, it is risky and at the same time comforting. You is the word spoken forever by the Trinity, and the first word the Trinity taught us.Debbie
