Everybody is somebody’s fool!–“We’re fools for Christ’s sake!” (1Cor.4:10)–Whose fool are you?
Some people just don’t seem to understand the miracle of conversion & the idealistic desire to devote one’s entire life to God’s service. “For the natural man receiveth NOT the things of the SPIRIT, for they are FOOLISHNESS unto him!” (1Cor.2:14)–Many have been thought to have suddenly gone mad, like the Apostle Paul, or been “driven crazy by religion”, because there was such a sudden change in their lives. (See Acts 26:24; Mk.3:21; Jn.10:20.)
In fact, nearly all the prophets & men of God throughout the Bible & past ages were thought to have been NUTS by the rest of the World: Dreamers, visionaries, hearing voices, having hallucinations, & pretty well flipped-out over religion. It all depends on WHO is calling WHO mad! If people think WE’RE a little eccentric, or OFF-center, it’s not because WE’RE off the center–it’s because THEY’RE wobbling around themselves, away off the one & only TRUE Center, JESUS CHRIST! Man without God is off center, insane.–THEY’RE the ones who are not in their right minds, because they can’t possibly know what’s right without JESUS!

每一个人都在为另一个人做傻瓜！——“我们在为基督做傻瓜！”（林前4:10）——你在为谁做傻瓜呢？
有些人似乎就是不能了解归信基督的奇迹，及奉献一个人的整个生命来服事上帝的理想愿望。“因为属血气的人不领会上帝圣灵的事，反倒以为愚拙！”（林前2:14）许多人被他人认为是突然发疯了，就如使徒保罗那样；或以为他们因宗教变得癫狂了，因为他们生命竟突然发生了改变。（阅徒26:24;可3:21;约10:20）
事实上，圣经所记载的历史上几乎所有的先知及属上帝的人，都被世人认为是疯子。人们以为他们是妄想狂、空想家，是听到声音、有幻觉、痴迷于宗教的人。其实，这完全看谁称谁为疯狂！如果人们认为我们有点异常、偏离了中心的话，那并不是因为我们偏离了中心，而是因为他们自己不稳定，离开了那个独一无二的真正“中心”——耶稣基督！人类没有上帝，才是偏离了中心，是疯狂的。他们才是那精神不正常的人，因为没有耶稣，他们无法知道什么是对的！
