"The Church continues in our attempt to blindly build bridges to our world soley on a disembodied truth model. But to our age, truth is nothing more than talk-especially when you don't show it. The eye, not the ear, is the decisive organ. Our postmodern world is tired of words- it wants real. Real is everything. Real is convincing. "
"The chasm can be bridged. We do not, as many think, live in an age that despises belief. Rather, it is an age that wants to believe, desperately so. Deeply disillusioned by the failure of human reason and logic, it is open to outside-and even supernatural- explanations. But it trusts nothing except what it can see, and more importantly, experience. For the watching world, drowning in postmodernism, this is foundational: not simply the Word of truth, but the Word made flesh. A living proof-an irrefutable incarnation."
- Robert Lewis The Church of Irresistible Influence
