Community of Memory and Mercy Quotes

Chuck Colson has a thoughtful commentary in a recent article from Christianity Today. He talks about the loss of a "community of memory" due to our cultural emphasis on "ontological individualism"--this pervasive idea that the individual is the only source of meaning.

I guess I liked it mainly because it again reminded me of the importance of passing on the gospel and the wisdom of God's revelation to my son and to future generations.

And even though it is completely unrelated, CT also chose to compile a collection of "mercy" quotes. Whenever someone talks about mercy, I'm there. If there is one thing that has helped me to get a right understanding of God and myself it's understanding mercy. I hope that my life, by God's grace, will be a testimony to the wonderful mercy of God.
