“A clear and lovely alternative to the madness of the world.”
Ray Ortlund
“The glory of the gospel is that when the church is absolutely different from the world, she invariably attracts it.
Is is then that the world is made to listen to her message, though they may hate it at first.”
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
“All of this is to say that, yes, authentic Christianity is and should be weird.
Cultural Christianity that imposes no duties on the practitioner, that encourages him to go through the motions but reassure his peers that OF COURSE he doesn’t actually believe all that stuff will always be socially acceptable and it will always be false.
In the words of Antonin Scalia, we need to “have the courage to have your wisdom regarded as stupidity.
Be fools for Christ.
And have the courage to suffer the contempt of the sophisticated world.”
Rod Dreher, Senior Editor for The American Conservative
Thus says the LORD:
“Stand by the roads, and look,
and ask for the ancient paths,
where the good way is; and walk in it,
and find rest for your souls.
