Ethics






"And many - ordinary Christians, Church leaders, seminaries; by the way they live, view Christian spirituality, and organise/prioritise their ministries - do not seem to be persuaded that ethics is essential for Christian faith and discipleship." 

~ Daniel Koh




"Too much so-called 'holiness teaching" emphasizes a personal relationship to Jesus Christ without any attempt to indicate its consequences in terms of relationships with the people we live and work with. In contrast to such holiness-in-a-vacuum, which magnifies experiences and minimizes ethics, the apostles spelled out Christian duty in the concrete situations of everyday life and work." (Stott, 1979, 214)
