from City on a Hill

Philip Graham Ryken is speaking of how we must learn to think and act Biblically and the difficulty we encounter:

"What we ought to do is take the time to stop and think. That is what people usually do when they lose their way. A motorist looking for a street in a strange neighborhood eases off the gas pedal and turns down the stereo. But in these post-Christian times, we do exactly the opposite. We sense that we have lost our spiritual way, but instead of taking time to think things through, we go faster and faster, cranking the music louder and louder." (pg. 123)
