One lived out example is worth a million words of preaching.
Bernie is there because churches, back in FDRs day, already were jumping for let Uncle Sam do it bait.
I like this idea better and completely agree. Knowing that you disagree and should be angry at them, but instead go the extra mile will speak volumes just as you say.
Because it will win them to believing the Lord’s way is the best way, too.
Bernie is a false fill for the hole that the church (which in turn being blessed by God) should be a true fill for.
