Aldous Huxley wrote this about intellectualism, "An intellectual is a person who's found one thing more interesting than sex." I could not agree more. But isn't the Christian lifestyle supposed to be in the same category? If I simply replaced the adjective, "intellectual" with the adjective and action-verb, "Christian", it would read like so, "A Christian is a person who's found one thing more interesting than sex."
We as Christians are called to live a pure and unstained life, ignorant if you will, of the corroding evils of society. To remain unblemished in the sight of God. I used to desire intellectualism for intellectualism's sake, now, I desire to be an intellectual grafted in with the skin of Christ. The difference is not great, the pain still burdening, but the results all the more rewarding.
cheers,
David
