Open your eyes. Look.
We are so out of sync with this world.
I mean, we, Christians.
Make it Chinese Christians.
Have you ever run into a situation when you suddenly (and finally) realized that the world you lived in, is nothing like you at all? That the world is much more messy than you can imagine or dare to admit? Did you notice that people outside your Christian “la-la-land” are way more complicated that you expected?
That, my friend, is called the REAL world.
Look around — look beyond those “happy faces” who show up on Sundays; look into the reality of what this world has become.
Look.
Don’t just make casual comments like “O my, this is such a twisted world”, “This country is so morally corrupted”, or “How can they do that”…
Stop that.
Look.
Look, for example, at what are on the selves as gifts for Mother’s day:
Household Guide for Dying
Surviving Divorce
… and many more.
You know what I mean? No, these are not your regular electronic-massage-chair gifts; not your average coffeemaker or juice-maker gifts.
Look.
Look how disconnected we are. How disconnected we have become.
And you tell me our archaic way of evangelism is still effective?
