“Christians were never meant to be normal. We’ve always been holy troublemakers,
we’ve always been creators of uncertainty, agents of dimension that’s incompatible with the status quo;
we do not accept the world as it is, but we insist on the world becoming the way that God wants it to be.
And the Kingdom of God is different from the patterns of this world.”
― Jacques Ellul,
this weekend marks the 25th anniversary of his death in 1994...
