    • Ambition

    Posted By Brett on June 21, 2010

    But where knowable truth is denied, ambition suffocates. Meandering replaces meaning, confusion trumps conviction, ambivalence swallows aspiration. We become living symptoms of the last days, “always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth” (2 Tim 3:7). (Dave Harvey, http://theresurgence.com/ambition_in_a_postmodern_world)

    Individualism once allied with a societal assumption of objective truth and eternal verities could generate at least some men and women of courage, honor, vision; individualism allied with philosophical pluralism and the scarcely qualified relativism of post-modernity generates ‘a world without heroes.’ (D.A. Carson, The Gagging of God)
