The meaning of the word 'condescend' is to voluntarily come down in humiliation to teach, not the connotation the word has today.  If I am now able to understand the Bible with clarity because of my persistent study, I am to condescend to teach what I have learned.  This means I am to learn to associate with others who may not study as much or know as much.  I am to look for every opportunity to witness to the truth of God's Word no matter who I am around.  I am not to avoid a certain class of ideologies necessarily because of their ignorance in full biblical knowledge.  I am the one exercising pride when I avoid a group of people because they do not study as much as one should, but profess Jesus Christ as Deity.

We do not proclaim a formula but a hope. Christianity today is more about leading people into a formula to believe rather than of a hope to believe in. We attract people to our churches with programs instead of truth. I believe if you want to get people to be interested in your philosophy [concept of truth] do not try to make it relevant with the current competing philosophies but make it rational.
