This World’s Strange Madness
This world thinks Christians are mad, and Christians feel the same way about the world. It is an old antagonism. When the apostle Paul was defending himself and the faith before a Roman ruler, that ruler interrupted his defense. “‘You are out of your mind, Paul!’ he shouted. ‘Your great learning is driving you insane.’ ‘I am not insane, most excellent Festus,’ Paul replied. ‘What I am saying is true and reasonable'” (Acts 26:24,25 NIV).
