Let us face at the outset how many Christians are not victor

Let us face at the outset how many Christians are not victorious, but defeated. Defeated by circumstances, defeated by other peoplesÂ’ natures and wrong-doings, defeated by the down-drag of the flesh, defeated by loss, by pain, by suffering, by worry. Instead of saying with confidence, Â“This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faithÂ”, they have to say in honesty, Â“This is the defeat that has been caused by the world, even our self-centeredness.Â” That is the opposite of faith. Unbelief is not the opposite of faith; self-centeredness is Â– being centered in self rather than in God.

It seemed to a number of philosophers of language, myself included, that we should attempt to achieve a unification of Chomsky's syntax, with the results of the researches that were going on in semantics and pragmatics. I believe that this effort has proven to be a failure. Though Chomsky did indeed revolutionize the subject of linguistics, it is not at all clear, at the end the century, what the solid results of this revolution are. As far as I can tell there is not a single rule of syntax that all, or even most, competent linguists are prepared to agree is a rule.
