Lord Save Us from Your Followers

We watched a movie in Bible class called Lord Save Us from Your Followers.  It was all about evangelism in America and how we do it wrong as Christian's.  It shows this guy walking around in a white suite thing with some sort of religious/ anti religious bumper stickers all over it.  It caught people's attention really fast. The guy would walk through a town and ask random people questions about what they believed about Jesus and which bumper sticker was their favorite.  It was surprising about how many people didn't know that much about Jesus. A lot of them knew He saved us, but that was about it.  Growing up in the Bible belt, I really don't notice how many people there are that do not know anything about God.  I am not saying that everyone is a Christian in the Bible belt, but most people do know some things about Jesus.  Also in the movie a group of teenage evangelists went to a place very close to homosexuals hearts and protested against them.  My personal opinion gathered from reactions of people to protesting is that is does not really work.  I think one of the main things it causes is more anger and resentment toward the church.  People who are protested against cannot feel loved.  They probably feel somewhat humiliated and for sure mad.   I think the best way to get your point across to them is to start a relationship with them and minister to them through what you do, say, and how you treat them.  The movie also showed the guy in the bumper sticker suite go to a homosexual parade and gathering and set up a confessional building for those who wanted to confess their sins.  That was not the only reason that they put a confessional there.  Through the confessional, the man was able to talk to these homosexuals and tell them that he was truly sorry for what the Church has done to them, and what even he himself had done to them.  I thought this was a very good idea.  Way more people were probably touched by his loving manner of evangelising compared to the method of protesting where it just made everyone want to fight.  I think people should watch this movie to see some effective and maybe some not so effective ways to evangelise.  Think about it this way... if someone was very rude to you and hurt your feelings, would you want to be like them? Would you think oh man, I wish I had what they have? NO! You would probably be pushed away from them with your unappealing attitude.  But if someone came up to you humbly and started having a genuine conversation with you, you are much more likely to want to be like them than the other person.  This movie was a very good movie and it really opened my eyes to the feelings of others.
