"Christians were never meant to be normal. Weâ€™ve always been holy troublemakers, weâ€™ve always been creators of uncertainty, agents of dimension thatâ€™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
