christians are weirdos

As a Christian in this world, you cannot help but feel like a bit of a weirdo. Most things that non-Christians love to do, we view in a completely different way or at least strive to do so. And likewise, most things that we as Christians love, just seem strange to a non-Christian. You just need to contrast what each would do on any given weekend. They are two different kinds of people. But somehow, as Christians, we become the weirdos. But hey, I'm fine with that y'all. :D

Tomorrow, my Sunday School lesson is on Loyalty, and one of the things that i will try to discuss with the kiddos is being on God's Team. It's a hard lesson to learn - because when we choose to be on God's team, we will stick out from the crowd. There's no way we can be on God's team and still be on the world's team at the same time.

This all reminded me of a great quote from AW Tozer:

A real Christian is an odd number anyway.

He feels supreme love for One whom he has never seen, talks familiarly every day to Someone he cannot see, expects to go to heaven on the virtue of Another, empties himself in order to be full, admits he is wrong so he can be declared right, goes down in order to get up, is strongest when he is weakest, richest when he is poorest, and happiest when he feels worst.

He dies so he can live, forsakes in order to have, gives away so he can keep, sees the invisible, hears the inaudible, and knows that which passes knowledge.
