[Zorobabel]

"I think when believers shout from the rooftop, that September 11th was God's judgement we are seen by the world as foolish hypocyts (sp). We have to clean up our own act. Then we can turn our attention to the world. "

The "world" has always looked upon believers as foolish. "The gospel is foolishness to them which perish."

[sonrise57]

Yes, the gospel is foolishness and we can expect be rejected along with our message, but in recent years, I have been concerned that it is not so much the gospel that is being rejected, but rather we Christians, who often act unseemly, and try to find all kinds of justification in the Bible for our unChirstlike and unbiblical behavior and values.
