"Where there is no vision (revelation), the people perish" (Prov. 29:18).
"Reason is the natural human ability to negotiate the issues of life by
employing logic (the science of the principles of reason) and
intellect. . . . Reason is a gift from God given to unbelievers as well
as believers, and without it, life would not only be hard, it would be
impossible. . . . Revelation, however, takes us into another world. . . .
The Bible is a book of revelation in
that it tells us what human reason could never tell us, . . . Without
revelation, man is left wandering around the globe trying to figure out
the mysteries of life with his reason, but reason does not take us into
this realm. It's off-limits for the human mind." -- Mike Minter, in his
book, A Western Jesus: The Wayward Americanization of Christ and the
Church, 57-58.
