A quotation can easily be construed as an endorsement. I'd rather not risk that. I've seen the chaos that can result. Any point I truly wish to make can be made by quoting Scripture and/or authors whose teachings were generally biblical. If I felt a need in the past to quote folks like Lewis or Tozer or Wesley or Aquinas or whatnot, I would first offer a disclaimer to the effect that I could not agree with the thrust of these men's overall teaching, even if sometimes they did have good things to say. But even that disclaimer tended to create more problems than it solved. So from now on I quote only people whose teaching I generally consider biblically sound.
