Rest assured, Judy, that we do not tell people to go to hell. I tell them that I am on no better ground than they are. The testimony of Jesus Christ is what we bring. People come under conviction and hear whatever they want to hear. A few weeks ago, a girl kept complaining that I had no right to bring my banner to her school. I let her vent, but about the fifth time she started describing my banner as condemning and horrible, I stopped her and said, "wait a minute, look at what the banner says... it says, 'JESUS WILL HEAL YOU'. What is so condemning about that?" She was speechless then. She saw what she wanted to see through the bigoted stereotype of what she has been trained to believe that public preachers are all about. People believe the lie so much that they can't see the truth when it is staring them in the face. I can understand how some of my banners might be misconstrued, but this one is a message of hope. Jesus will heal you. Yet, even that message is characterized as condemning and an infringement upon their liberty. They should not have to look upon it with their eyes. The same people who talk about tolerance talk this way. Amazing.
