Strippers vs. Christians? That is the title of a tweet I saw from @ShrinktheChurch today. Definitely got my attention.

Before you read any further, check out the story here from AP News. It seems to be the most unbiased account – http://apnews.myway.com/article/20100827/D9HROVM00.html

I cannot condone the church’s actions. Sure, they may disagree with the morality of a strip club, but how it is Biblical to essentially terrorize these people? Is picketing going to change them for the better?

Would Christ picket? I sincerely doubt it.

The only people I see Jesus giving a hard time were those who thought they were superior and passed judgment on others (sound familiar?). If these people really want to make a difference, how about some compassion?
