Chuck is one of 'those' Christians, who cannot be trusted to remain polite
in polite company.
He offends many, with his sin and damnation talk.
Chuck's own family is embarrassed by his constant yammering of hell existing, need for repentance and Salvation.
Chuck is one of 'those Christians'.
But Chuck is their brother and friend.
Family and friends try to modify his behavior by letting him know that he is welcome in their homes and family functions...if he drops that 'sin' talk.
He can be a great guy when talking sports scores, blockbuster movies or even politics.
But Chuck offends.
Even as they "spritz him" with the perfume of their best intentions, trying to make nice with him... he stinks.
But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.
For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing; to the one an aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life. And who is adequate for these things?

Chuck is a figment, a shade, a placeholder in this little post.
Named for Charles Spurgeon, who in his life offended so many people that
there would be six thousand souls listening to him preach each Sunday.
See, the to World, Spurgeon smelled rank and foul.
But to Christ and Christians...wonderful.
Be like Chuck.
