Boycotting



"So He told them this parable, saying, “What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? “When he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. “And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’ “I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance."  Luke 15:3-7

It seems in today's society christians don't think this way anymore, instead we seem to say "stupid ******* sheep, let the wolves have you I am tired of this ****, I have more important things to do, I am better than you, get him God send the wolves!"
We aren't helping anyone when we boycott. By all means support the people who believe the way you do, but if you turn your back on others you have destroyed your witness and you will never be able to reach them for Christ and worse yet you have turned them away from christians (and no I didn't forget to capitalize the C, I just don't think we deserve a capitol letter, but that's another rant) so now it will be harder for any of us to reach them.
I think if Jesus would have come to earth today you would find him at Starbucks and Disney world, not because he likes to waste money, but because there is where you will find the people he came for. I doubt he would set foot in a mega church either unless it was to turn over some tables and bring discipline to those who call themselves His.
