“We must still ask ourselves whether there are not many things in our life that are more cherished and more important to us than Jesus Christ, and whether these more important things may not one day become the price for which we sell our Christian faith: a passion, a particular style of living, an infidelity, a business manipulation–or whatever form the mask of the Wicked One may take.”
Helmut Thielicke, Christ and the Meaning of Life: A Book of Sermons and Meditations. New York: Harper & Row Publishers, 1962, page 66.
