"If we Christians live unaware of the subtle ways in which worldliness seeps into how we think, feel, and live, we'll never exhibit the beautiful, refreshing, unfashionable difference this world desperately needs to see."
woah.. yep this short, impactful passage that is part of a challenging, straightforward book is something that transformed my day. One of my friends showed me THIS book, 'unfashionable', that basically discusses the meaning of being part of the 'counter culture' and how that can therefore affect our lives, our faith, but most importantly the way we view God amidst the world that tries to cover him up. Weird, when you sit back and realize how the worldliness/ worldly tendencies seep into our day to day rutines. Even just catching myself gossiping about the littlest things, or worrying about stuff that should be the last thing on my mind is embarrassing to look back on. Its awesome to think how much of a difference/ impact people can make on a situation just by standing out, by being profoundly different.
this is fan-freaking-tastic. loved it. loved the quote (its now printed in my room). love YOU.
