On the other hand, the gospel teaches that all blessings are predicated on obedience to God. Further, faith in God is not only the first principle of the gospel, it is an essential check against unrestrained liberty and reason. When the free individual chooses to disobey God, he not only rejects Divine authority, he damages his future liberty. As the Lord said, "Here is the agency of man, and here is the condemnation of man; because that which was from the beginning is plainly manifest unto them, and they receive not the light."`¹³
double heritage" of secular knowledge and revealed truth.

- we must become "bilingual" in speaking the language of scholarship and the language of the Spirit.¹⁴
- paradoxes
- true principles that seem to contradict each other, but which are reconciled by higher doctrines.
- process of reconciling competing true values
- the best way to resolve such tensions is not through abstract discussion, but through the personal examples of people whose lives represent balanced, productive resolutions
- draw on divine power in their professional work
- consecrated scholarship converges both the life of the mind and the life of the spirit
- faithful scholarship as a source of defense,
- Science will not be able to prove or disprove holy writ
- Only when belief is not compelled, by external evidence or otherwise, can it produce the growth that is the promised fruit of faith.
- observe their covenants by every sacrifice
- to offer the sacrifice of a broken heart and contrite spirit, which was somehow making the Lord's own sacrifice more accessible to them.
- sanctifying effects of these afflictions.
- someone who conditions his faith on its being rationally intelligent may shrink back from a sanctifying experience--and thereby not discover what the experience could teach.
- By its very nature, faith ultimately takes us beyond the boundaries of reason.
- we can't go there until we've walked as far as the light of our search for knowledge allows.
- And a lifetime of trying to make sense of mortality, especially on days when it doesn't seem to make sense, gives us the experience we must eventually have to appreciate the meaning of our sanctification after it has been completed.
- part of the sacrifice the Lord may require is that we accept what He may inflict upon us without understanding to our rational satisfaction why we should be lost in some dark night of the soul.
- the life of a disciple-scholar was more about consecration than it was about scholarship
- academic scholarship [can be] a form of worship, another dimension of consecration
- Genius without meekness is not enough to qualify for discipleship.
- They tend to measure the gospel and the Church by what they have learned in their academic disciplines rather than the other way around
- The work of a Beethoven, and the work of a charwoman, become spiritual on precisely the same condition, that of being [humbly] offered to God . . . This does not ... mean that it is for anyone a mere toss-up whether he should sweep rooms or compose symphonies. A mole must dig to the glory of God and a cock must crow."
- personal humility is essential;
- otherwise, we "may come to love knowledge--our knowing--more than the thing known:
- In living a learned life,
- Every success in the scholar's life increases this danger.
- To be ignorant and simple now
- would be to throw down our weapons, and to betray our uneducated brethren who have, under God, no defense but us against the intellectual attacks of the heathen. Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason, [than] because bad philosophy needs to be answered."
- adversity is sometimes a tool the Lord uses to teach his followers the very attributes they need for their development.
- the very act of choosing to be a disciple can bring to us a certain special suffering. [Such] suffering and chastening is the dimension that comes with deep discipleship," when the Lord takes us "to the very edge of our faith; [and] we teeter at the edge of our trust [in] a form of learning as it is administered at the hands of a loving Father.
- adversity can squeeze out of us the [remaining] hypocrisy that's there
- Those who taste sanctification must often pay such a terribly high price that they can't possibly understand the need for their suffering
- This level does not ask us to give up anything of value in our reason or our scholarship,
- from this vantage point, we need even more rigorous scholarship and deeper inquiry, especially about protecting and nurturing the things of eternity.
- Not that the macro problems don't matter; he just knew that the micro problems are the ones we can do the most about. And in the long run, he knew that the gospel's way of changing the individual is the only lasting way to change society.
- "The kind of people we are is more important than what we can do to improve the world; indeed, being the kind of people we should and can be is the best, and sometimes the only, way to improve the world."²⁸
- faith and hope rising to overcome their rational fears
- being faithful enough to see Him was the ultimate resolution of the tension between faith and reason. He is the ultimate resolution to everything.
