“Truth leads to Freedom, yet freedom does not necessarily lead to truth.”
Marvin Olasky

“We do not see politics as ultimate, so we don’t sacrifice evangelical witness to election desires.” World, in keeping with the Bible’s emphasis on the poor, including widows, orphans, prisoners, and sojourners, focuses attention on “uns”—the unborn, the uneducated, the unemployed, the unhoused, the unhealthy, and the undocumented.”
Marvin Olasky, Pivot Points: Adventures on the Road to Christian Contentment, A Memoir

“Oliver Dyer, calculated that if all of New York’s post-Civil War liquor shops (5,500), houses of prostitution (647, by his count), gambling halls, and other low-life establishments were placed for a night on a single street, they would reach from City Hall in lower Manhattan to White Plains thirty miles away, with a robbery every 165 yards, a murder every half mile, and thirty reporters offering sensational detail.4”
Marvin Olasky, The Tragedy of American Compassion
