Boycott Conservative Talk Radio!!

Am I serious? Maybe... I would submit that people who behave in ways that are completely sub-christian, but at the same time claim an allegiance to Jesus do much more harm to the visible church than any hardened pagan ever could. I can't begin to articulate how angry I get when (Rush, Sean H, Bill O, etc) completely disrespect their callers through lack of listening and compassion and grace. Granted I may line up ideologically with a majority of what they say, but the means by which and the tone they use in communicating their message does more harm than good in my opinion. In short if you are going to be a Christian, please don't give the impression to others that if everyone would just do exactly as you say, then the world would be the best possible of all places. That is not to say that we don't believe that we have real Truth to communicate to a very needy world, but that Truth first needs to come to me as the neediest, and that perspective should revolutionize the way I treat all those who agree or disagree with me. Just asking for more humilty and grace in communication from those who claim the name of Jesus. A couple scriptures to consider in light of these comments

James 1:19:
My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,


Proverbs 18:17:
The first to present his case seems right, till another comes forward and questions him


On a related note, can we do away with the church marquees that say something like this "How do you like your eternity? Smoking or Non-smoking", or "Don't want to get burnt? Use Son-screen" Both of these have appeared at churches not far from my house. Not a great evangelistic strategy in my opinion. It may be a valid question in a certain context, but not on the ouside of church on the marquee, using those words in that way. Thoughts?
