You can't start a fire by spitting on sticks. It's a proven fact.... maybe. The point is that if you want to build a fire, there is a right way, and many many wrong ways.
It really doesn't matter what you are trying to do, if you are doing it the wrong way, it won't be accomplished. Take an elderly couple that is boycotting abortion on Woodruff Road, for example.
Their mission is noble- to tell people that abortion is killing a life.
But the way the are doing it is wrong.
Almost every morning (or possibly any random day they feel), they stand at the corner or a popular intersection, holding picket signs that say "STOP ABORTION NOW" and carrying babydolls in strollers and backpack carrier.
They may not be trying to, but it comes across as condemnation.
Their message is polluted by the method.
But places like Piedmont Womens Center don't let a wrong method get in the way of their message. Their method, and message, is wrapped in love. They, too, are against abortion, but instead of hate and condemning, they lovingly correct, the way Jesus taught us.
All I'm trying to say here is that there is a right way and a wrong way to do things. I can't make a feature film using Windows Movie Maker- its a wrong way to do something, it does more harm than good.
