Cynicism
posted by Amy on September 18, 2009 at 08:27 AM in Faith, Culture

"We [Christians] make the mistake, and our culture makes the mistake, of thinking that if I see clearly the folly of something or the sin of something or the problems of something, that then cynicism is the right response.  

God sees our follies and weaknesses and sins with absolute clarity and he never becomes cynical about us."

- Jerram Barrs, from a lecture on Postmodernism
