The Call to Break
In going back through the book No God But God: Breaking With The Idols Of Our Age (Moody, 1992) edited by Os Guinness and John Seel, I rediscovered this quote:
The call to believe (as obedience to the truth) includes the call to break (being in the world but not of it) and the call to behave (being holy as God is holy).
As I say in this book that I’m currently writing, Unfashionable: How to Live Against the World for the World, Christians make a difference in the world by being different from the world. We don’t make a difference by being the same.
