Pilgrim,
Quote
people ... disdain those who profess to be Christians and further the belief that we are nothing more than a bunch of radical extremists

How true. Would that rather, as Christians, we be seen as

truly radical extremists,

sons of light, sons of the day, blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation among whom you shine as lights in the world, holy in all your all conduct, sojourners and pilgrims, having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.


In Christ,
Paul S
