Too cool or not too cool? That is the question.
By our uncritical pursuit of relevance we have actually courted irrelevance; by our breathless chase after relevance without a matching commitment to faithfulness, we have become not only unfaithful but irrelevant; by our determined efforts to redefine ourselves in ways that are more compelling to the modern* world than are faithful to Christ, we have lost not only our identity but our authority and our relevance. Our crying need is to be faithful as well as relevant.*Don’t forget to change the word “modern” to “post-modern”.Os Guinness, Prophetic Untimeliness: A Challenge to the Idol of Relevance
