Gnostic Worship
by Michael Horton
"We see this in the modern world, where light technique has shoved aside
heavy truth, and where pragmatism, an intuitive, immediate "flash of
insight" way of problem-solving, is valued over wisdom, an accumulated
wealth of insights from the family, the church, and books from those
who have long since passed from this world. It is a lightness and
rootlessness that is apparent in the replacement of neighborhoods with
planned tracts of homogeneous, quickly erected, cheap homes with
imitation marble, brick and other light and inexpensive replicas of
heavy things. It is seen in the superficiality of our conversation, in
the suspicion of tradition, institutions and authority."
