Tozer for Tuesday, or take it to the board?

Christian parents know that their children go to grade school and then high school marked as being odd, and you make no protest. Christians know there is no use to make a protest; of course, they think we are strange, but strange means different, that is all. Of course we are different; and woe be to the Christian that is not. The moment that it cannot be said of the Christian that he is different is the day he has disgraced his testimony and sold out his fate. It is the mark of a church that they are people that are different. They think it is strange that you are different, but, says Peter, “Don’t put in a protest, hire a lawyer, scandalize anybody, approach the school board. They shall give account to God.” There is his answer. Those who think we are strange and insist upon saying so with much laughter shall give an account to God and not to the Christian. God never made me a judge over anybody, and He never made you a judge. He made us witnesses, but not judges.—A.W. Tozer, Living as a Christian, 186

Personally, I'll stand with Tozer on this one. First because it's scriptural, and second because it is far more effective than the other route....
