There is no need to be a crank, an oddity, for the sake of the Kingdom. Someone has said that the Lord has His dear ones, and His queer men. He has. The cause of God has suffered because of the angularities and peculiarities of some professing Christians. It is not for me to condemn folk who are better and braver than I am, but I do not think Christ calls us to be anything simply silly. There is no need to exalt fads to the position of prominent tradition.
