The Lord actually intended for these Nazirites to be holy eccentrics living among the rest of the people. And now He calls us all to be peculiar people . This applies not only to us, but to our children. In fact, the opposite is true. Salt loses its savor through leaching, through dissipation.

Yes, John the Baptist was a light for God in the world. By being so totally separate from the world that they were attracted to him like moths.
