christian bashing, my favorite

I realized tonight that christians are probably their own worst enemy. Sure the world gets pissy with christians and sure they get frustrated with them. But when christians start to rip at each other's throat, that's probably where the problem erupts.

Everyone has a different style of evangelism, and of course one group of people is going to think the other is doing it wrong. I am a strong believer is evangelizing through relationships, but having intentional relationships with people. I know quite a few people get where I am coming from and do the same thing.

Some christians are a firm believer of the tract. As awful as they are, they work for some.

I just don't get it when the two styles begin to bash the other for how they connect other people to Christ. Why does it matter how someone comes to know God? Shouldn't we be celebrating the fact that another person was brought into the Kingdom of heaven? Is it really necessary to "hate" another christian because you feel like the way someone else evangelizes cramps your style?

Christians need to get over themselves.
Give the glory to the One who deserves it. 

Let people bring people to God how they see fit.
