“Many people think of our times as being the last before the end of the world. The evidence of horror all around us makes this seem possible. But isn’t that an idea of only minor importance?Doesn’t every human being, no matter which era he lives in, always have to reckon with being accountable to God at any moment?Can I know whether I’ll be alive tomorrow morning?
Isn’t it a riddle and awe-inspiring that things can be so beautiful, despite the horror? I’ve seen something wondrous peering through my joy in the beautiful, a sense of its creator.Only people can be truly ugly, because they have free will to separate themselves from this song of praise.It often seems they will drown out this hymn with cannon thunder, curses, and blasphemy.
But I have realized they will not succeed. And so I want to throw myself on the side of the victor”.
