My friend Tullian Tchividjian just finished writing his second book entitled Unfashionable.
The subtitles sums up the message: "Making a difference in the world by being different." He was thrilled to discover the following quote by Charles Spurgeon from a sermon on Joshua 24:15, delivered on April 18, 1875:
The great guide of the world is fashion and it's god is respectability--two phantoms at which brave men laugh! How many of you look around on society to know what to do? You watch the general current and then float upon it! You study the popular breeze and shift your sails to suit it. True men do not so! You ask, "Is it fashionable? If it is fashionable, it must be done." Fashion is the law of multitudes, but it is nothing more than the common consent of fools.May God give Christians the courage to be unfashionable for the sake of the gospel.
Hungry to be more Christ-Like and not fashion of this world,
