Then consider.

Keller makes me wonder:

1. What does our language say about what concerns us most?

2. What really does concern us most?

3. Do we get uncomfortable around non-believers?

4. Do we immediately alienate non-believers with our very presence and language?

5. Does our humor alienate people? Do our snide remarks?

6. Do we conduct ourselves in church with an assumption that no non-believer has walked in the door who might need to understand our message better?

7. Are we communicating the love of Jesus or love of ourselves?
