Pastor Tullian Tchividjian - Getting back to basics
Christianity : what is fashionable these days?
“Christianity is radically uncool,” says south Florida's 2000 member Coral Ridge Presbyterian church senior pastor Tullian Tchividjian. “Indeed, if what’s fashionable in society is what interests you, then true Christianity won’t. It’s that simple.” Tchividjian says that today many Christians feel that in order to reach the world, they must become just like the world. Many evangelical leaders believe that Christianity needs to fit into the broader culture to make it more relevant and palatable. But in his critically acclaimed book, Unfashionable, the 36-year-old grandson of Billy Graham goes against popular notions and commonly held beliefs, arguing for just the opposite. Unfashionable was inspired by what Tchividjian’s calls "his own experience" in his early twenties, as he awakened one Sunday morning with an aching head and empty heart after years of running away from faith.
