MORONS

     Much of the world views Christians as MORONS.  I have to give them credit, they're half right.  I would define Christians more as OXYMORONS.  What is an OXYMORON, you ask?  Well, here's what Mr. Webster says...
     : a combination of contradictory or incongruous words (as cruel kindness); broadly : something (as a concept) that is made up of contradictory or incongruous elements
      It comes from two little Greek words...oxys, meaning keen, sharp and moros, meaning dull or stupid.  Two concepts that are totally opposite and mutually exclusive.  

     Here are a few examples of oxymorons:

Jumbo Shrimp

Clearly Confused

Deafening Silence

     You get the picture.  Two things that absolutely do not go together.  That don't fit.  That make sense separately, but not together.  Those are oxymorons.  

     Christians are oxymorons.  We are a combination of two things that do not go together.  That don't fit.  That are, seemingly, mutually exclusive.  

     What are those two things, and how do they come together in the life of a Christ-follower?  Well, you're just going to have to show up at CROSSPOINT CHURCH this week to find out. (don't you just hate that!?)  I realize that's a pretty awful way to put this, but please don't get all passive-agressive on me.  I promise, it will be awfully amazing!
