It was a desire to want to say to people <BR/>"Stop. Just stop. Using evangelism as a cover to make your hate and shallowness acceptable isn't really working. There's plenty of other ways you can get your little agressions out. If you're not part of the solution in bringing people to Christ, you are part of the problem. If you're just paying lip service but are keeping people away from Him through your own poor witness, just do everybody a favor and go find something else to do."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33549841.post-20762824048675366322008-06-29T02:08:00.000-04:002008-06-29T02:08:00.000-04:00That makes me weep.
