We may address our faith in the language of philosophy, speak with cultural fluency, and even find ourselves in places and positions of influence.
We may learn how to sound respectable, how to make Christianity appear polished, reasonable, and safe.
But underneath the polish, beyond rhetoric and social finesse, we remain in the eyes of the world fools.
Unless, of course, we surrender the very thing that makes us Christian and settle for a Christianity without Christ.
We've spent so much time trying to make Christianity appear normal, respectable, and useful that we have forgotten how strange it really is.
