Outside In Or Inside Out?

Today I read this in a book called Godology by Christian George. It blew me away. Here it is.

There are two kinds of people in this world: those who live outside-in and those who live inside-out. The outside-in folks allow the world to saturate their thinking. They are sponges, absorbing the agendas of this world without a filter. Like the Roman Empire they are destroyed from within. In contrast, those who live inside-out change the world with what's inside them. They splurge in truth and spill it to everyone around. It's the difference between a black hole and a burning star. It's more beautiful to explode in light than to implode in darkness. And we all know that there are enough black holes in this world already.

It also made me think of the scripture:

Philippians 2:14-16 Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life.

Powerful stuff.
