While there is an aspect of the Christian faith and life that is public relations related, it is fundamentally a war, both inside and outside of us. We must always act righteously, but recognize that doing so extends necessarily into the world outside of us and will, at times, bring great opposition. Unless this is our vision for a successful church, we will disengage the war outside of us, only bombing where we catch no flak and end up losing the war inside of us as well.
