Honey Catches More Flies Than Vinegar
How does the world view your message?
This past Sunday, a hate group from Kansas sent 8 people to protest our church in Mount Pleasant, SC. You know 
you’re doing something right, when you have people protesting! However, this protest was pathetic from two perspectives:
1) There were 8 people protesting. Though 8 people protesting is technically a protest, it lacked impact with so few people.
2) The message came with anger and hate rather than love. How can you motivate anyone with a message of hate (even if your point is valid)? Honey attracts more flies than vinegar!
How is your life message being portrayed?
Are you attracting others to your faith or repelling them? The way we conduct ourselves daily best reflects who we are and what we believe. Do your values and morals shine through in everything you do – finances included? If you’d like to look at ways you might be able to better reflect your faith and values as they relate to your finances, let’s set up a FREE 30 minute call to see if I might be able to help you.

Pretty good thoughts Jay. I agree that it was a pretty sad protest. They didn’t even come up with any original signs for the church. I think it’s safe to say that what they are doing is more for publicity’s sake than bringing about any kind of change.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I always try to think: does what I do reflect how Jesus Himself would approach the situation. I don’t know why a group like this, no matter how right they think they are, could ever believe their approach would draw a person toward Christ. I guess stirring up other believers is more important than helping those who don’t know Christ. Fighting over who loves God more and who loves Him the proper way is just plain silly. The time wasted on pety protesting could instead be used to feed the poor and build up the community. My prayer is that they let love shine through and find a new method of engagement.
