rudderless and out of time

John Owen once said, ”Without absolutes revealed from without by God Himself, we are left rudderless in a sea of conflicting ideas about manners, justice and right and wrong, issuing from a multitude of self-opinionated thinkers.” This is crucial to understand.

Here is a powerful scene from ER on the soul’s necessity of absolute truth.

“I need answers and all your questions and your uncertainty are only making things worse….I need someone who will look me in the eye and tell me how to find forgiveness because I am running out of time.”

We are all running out of time. We are all dying.

We have all fallen short of the glory of God and need His forgiveness. We can only find this forgiveness in Jesus Christ.

  1. So very thankful God has given us answers…and the free gift of forgiveness to those who will accept it! This was a very powerful scene. Sad to see the answers she was giving to a desperate man seeking Truth. I’m so glad God made us forever sisters, Emily!!

  2. I remember when Joe showed us that in class. It’s still very haunting now.

  3. i have soooo much to say about this but no time!!!1

  4. How true it is that uncertainty is an empty savior. Yet, so many revert to it to live the life they want to live and feel justified in it.

  5. This is a fantastic clip.
