Does becoming a Christian make you some kind of weird oddball?
No. Becoming a believer does not make a person some kind of oddball in left field with a silly halo or wings. The true believer is the common, ordinary, good parent, good citizen, and good church member, operating according to God’s precepts—not kooky, but the epitome of normality outwardly.
Les explains that the believer has the mind of the Lord, so the whole attitude and mindset are totally different from the unsaved world. But he stresses that becoming a believer does not make you some kind of oddball out in left field with a silly halo or wings. The true believer is just the common, ordinary, good parent, good citizen, and good church member, operating according to God’s precepts. That does not mean you are kooky or an oddball. Instead, believers are the epitome of normality from all outward appearances, yet their lifestyle is such that the world can recognize them everywhere they go, at least sooner or later.
