I'm not trying to beat the same drum constantly, or beat a dead horse, but stories of "christians" going out of their way to protest the fact that sinners act like sinners is so redundant and, well, stupid. Now the sinners are fighting back=) Apparently the employees of an ohio strip club have had enough of the finger pointing and hell fire insults from a nearby church and took it upon themselves to show up on a sunday morning in bikinis to protest. Here is a snipet of the article.......
WARSAW, Ohio (AP) — The owner of an Ohio strip club and some of his dancers have been protesting at a church that has done the same to them for four years.
Women in bikinis sat in camp chairs Sunday outside the New Beginnings Ministries church in Warsaw, about 60 miles northeast of Columbus.
Tommy George owns the Foxhole strip club in nearby Newcastle. He says he and his employees decided to start coming to the church because they were fed up.
George says the church’s pastor, Bill Dunfee, and his congregation have bothered the club’s weekend patrons. He says they come armed with bullhorns, signs and video cameras for posting customers’ license plate numbers online.
Dunfee calls George a “parasite” and says seeing the protesters outside the church has strengthened the resolve of his flock.
"armed with bullhorns signs and video cameras", if that doesn't win people to the Lord, I don't know what will. Again I pose the question, how does this help people who are far from God get closer? How does this represent the church and the idea that true followers of Jesus would be easily recognizable because of the love they have one for another? Oh it doesn't, good. And remember that time the Pharisee's brought a women caught in the act of adultery and Jesus called her a parasite? No, Ok, I just wanted to be sure. Bad enough when the people we are trying to reach just won't come to church, whole nutha level to have the very people your called to reach outside your church in bikinis, picketing those who are supposed to be the very body of Christ.
This might be the sunday you wish you wore your "Jesus save us from your followers" T-Shirt.

So true... do we really expect non-believers to act like believers??? Even believers don't act like believers much of the time! It is so hard sometime to love people right where they are at. "Lord, let me see through Your eyes."
