"Of course it's one of the things Christians are criticized for, even by other Christians: 'Why can't they sing any new songs?'; 'Church is always the same'; 'I already know what I'm supposed to know.' Yes, and you probably know that you should send your grandmother a thank-you note when she gives you a present. But it's easy to forget. That's why mothers and fathers and the people who care about us are always reminding us of things: 'Don't forget to thank your grandmother'; 'Remember to congratulate Johnny on his new job'; 'Remember to wear your motorcycle helmet.' It seems a bother. But without those reminders, we often wouldn't remember.

Christianity won't let you forget. Christians are supposed to pass on the story, to remind each other that they are on a journey, and to make sure the next generation gets intact the message and the map that goes with it. They are to sing marching songs along the road to keep the spirits up and the memory keen, and they must sing all the louder in the vicinity of Sirens or Circes.

Christians are not called on to create some new way of salvation. It is not their business to engineer a better road or to expand it to eight lanes or to redirect it to avoid swamps or mountains or the hill of Golgotha. Their business is the business of one foot up and one foot down." ~Psychological Seduction, pp. 134-135
