Smuggling, not snuggling

So, the guitarist for the band Korn has become a Christian. Very cool. But now he wants to make "Christian" clothes and stuff that's cool, because there's not a lot of cool Christian stuff out there. Hmm. I'm not too cool with Christian-cool. Sounds hokey. Sounds wannabe. Sounds irrelevant in the name of relevance.

Lord, save us from hip and make us real. Save us from cool and make us alive. Save us from relevant and make us relational. Save us from Christian consumerism and sink us into Christian community.

Help us to stop snuggling with the world for our own sakes and get back to smuggling the gospel into the world for its sake.
