"The church can only be a counter-community. If it is anything other than that, it has already compromised itself."

Is your church a contrast to the world ? Or does it look just like the world around it?

Jacques Ellul* (1912-1994)
Author/Bible Theologian/Thought-Leader

* Jacques Ellul was a reformist theologian who is credited with coining the phrase "Think globally, act locally".  During World War II, for his efforts to save Jews he was awarded the title "Righteous among the Nations" by Yad Vashem in 1981. He wrote extensively and warned about the emergence of  the "tyranny of technology" over humanity. He also warned about the church increasingly looking like the world and assimilating its values unabashedly.
