Help or Harm?

Saw something on Saturday that I haven't seen in a long time!

Not sure if it is helpful or harmful?  Actually I think it does more harm than help.

I know Sharon and I picked up our pace and walked pretty wide when we realized what was going on.

We were on the streets of Annapolis, enjoying a stroll in the historic/ waterfront area near the statehouse when we encounter a guy dressed in a suit, shouting at the top of his lungs on the street corner.   His message wasn't bad, but his method of delivery was not effective at all!  Infact the only thing it did was repel people.  You could see people crossing the street early and steering clear of the guy. 

So SAD!  The greatest message in the world tainted by a poor delivery method. 

The challenge for all of us in the current environment we live in is to figure out how to share the message of God's love in a way that attracts people not repels them.  Personally, I think sharing love in tangible ways not shouting about it works best!
