Christians apologizing

Aw that makes me sad. This was in Chicago. We saw these guys and walked away with a warm fuzzy feeling that maybe some corners were being turned.

Who knows maybe they were. If at least one of them changed their hearts while out there with us wouldn't it have been worth it? How many of us have had some redemptive feelings while doing a task we really didn't want to do? Say, for example, reluctantly agreeing to serve food at a homeless shelter and finding out something not only about the people you are serving, but yourselves as well?

I believe that God speaks to us in many ways that we do not expect. The twin to that picture is one of the parade participants hugging one of the Christians and crying. Whether the pastor was legit or not, in that moment, those two people were bonded and shared a moment of love, pleace, and healing. Maybe instead of fighting a complete battle, we should be fighting the battle of moments. Like this one. Moments that are strung together to make a change. I think, that's how you change hearts. One moment at a time.
