“The point missed by Mr. Harrison of Fredericksburg and others is that the Cross is not an end in itself…it is a magnet, an evangelical tool, a multiplier. People will be drawn to the Cross as they have been for the millennia. Those drawn to the Cross will become disciples, and disciples will give to feed the poor. More disciples, more giving. Even the secular press reports that Christian communities lead the pack in charitable giving. The Cross is part of the “hardware” for this effort. A simple gift of money or food does little; spend it once and it’s gone, a fact too easily missed by Bono and other crusaders against global poverty. The Cross is the seed of a larger effort. I would leave Mr. Harrison with the words of an old hymn: There’s room at the Cross for you.”
