For this reason, the gravest question before the church is always God Himself, and the most portentous fact about any man is not what he at a given time may say or do, but what he in his deep heart conceives God to be like,” end quote. He’s saying the most important thing that a man has is his understanding of God, and the most important message the church has to give is the knowledge of God; and I think he’s right..." from the Transcript
