I received this video today via email. It invoked a lot of different feelings within me. I am in shock of their ignorance, ashamed of the same name that we share, grief for those that will be harmed through their acts, and anger for further harming the cause of Christ.
I'm not afraid to be different from the rest of the world, but it has to be for the right cause. Christ didn't come to burn books. He came to give the greatest gift imaginable.
It saddens me to think of those that will further harden their hearts towards Christianity because of this book burning. Think of how many lives could be touched if we were to put this same passion towards helping the sick, the poor, and the hurting. What kind of mark would we leave with others if we chose a servant's heart?
Lord, please help my actions and intentions to be pure so that I may help soften people's hearts toward You.
