A couple of years ago I ran across this concept in a book by Dan Kimball called "They Like Jesus, but they don't like the church". The concept was simple, that we as followers of Christ need to be known more by what we're for and less for what we're against. Sadly, the greater majority of the time when the church gets media exposure it's for things like boycotting Harry Potter or Marylin Manson or Target. Sadly all of the good things that the church does like helping fight AIDS in Africa, being the first line of response at Katrina and Haiti and a myriad of other things seems to get drowned out by negative press.

I thought about this again today as I read a post by Anne Jackson regarding some people in the church wanting to boycott Craigslist because of prostitution adds on it's site. 

 The problem is one that should be dealt with for sure and yet I think Anne's suggestions are much more helpful than another boycott and statement of what we're against. 

Read her post and let me know what you think? Is she on to something?
