QUOTE: “The temptation the church always
experiences is to be like the world. It is the temptation to enjoy the comfort
of a majority, to be at home, to be at peace, to have no enemies. Is it not
true that we all yearn for such an experience? However, if the church is to be
truly successful, it must be unlike anything else we find in life.”
