Rueben P. Job Quotes
We Live In A World Convinced That Security Is The Most Reliable Context For Freedom. The Bitter Irony Of This Conviction Is That The Havens Of Security We Create Are Unable To Provide The Freedom We Seek. The Quest For National, Economic, Or Personal Security Too Often Generates Compulsive Patterns Of Life At The Expense Of Genuine Freedom. Christian Tradition Offers An Alternative. In Biblical Perspective, It Is Obedience Rather Than Security That Forms The Proper Context For Freedom. Thus, The Christian Vision Of Freedom Is Focused Through The Lens Of A Paradox: "Whoever Cares For His Own Safety Is Lost; But If A Man Will Let Himself Be Lost For My Sake, He Will Find His True Self" (Matt. 16:25, NEB). - John S. Mogabgab, "Editor's Introduction," Weavings (May/June 1988)
