Why People Think Christians Are Weird
Posted by Kevin D. Hendricks on December 23, 2008
Pocket Guide to the Bible author Jason Boyett points to the recent Billy Graham Christmas Special and wonders about how they share the gospel:
“Surely somebody on Graham’s team saw the unintentional hilarity and/or ridiculousness and/or cheapening of the gospel that comes from putting this phrase on the television screen:
For a relationship with Jesus Christ: 1-800-631-7141″
He pokes fun at the wording and then finishes with the admission that Billy Graham and evangelical Christians have done good things, “but TV graphics like this one help explain why people think we’re weird.”
I think Boyett is taking it a bit far, but he does have a point.
