MLK Jr. Parade, Pt. 4: When Good is Evil and Evil Good (Special “Atheist Tuesday” Edition)

It’s not unusual or remarkable that the gay pride contingent marches in nearly every parade that the evangelism team visits. We have no particular agenda for this group other than to get the Gospel out to as many of the members of this community as possible. (Click here to start at part 1.)

What stunned me was a comment made as I handed out Gospel tracts to the “Black and Gay and Here to Stay” crowd. One rather aggressive lady dressed in white started grabbing the tracts from the marchers. When I asked her why she was doing this she said,

MLK Jr. Parades, Pt. 2: Changing Hearts and Minds

Why the zealousness to preach the Gospel by word and tract at parades? To hopefully change the hearts and minds of those that think differently about God and what he requires.

To some, a parade dedicated to the memory of  Martin Luther King Jr. is an opportunity to take a political stance; to others, a social stance, without regard to the eternal truths of the Bible in regard to sin, righteousness and the judgment to come.

Some may read of their culpability to a Holy God by a simple tract, or hear from the lips of a Gospel preacher how they have transgressed His law, how they need to turn from their sins, and trust in the Savior. Then, who knows? there could be a greater purpose for them than simply socio-political issues.
