You don’t need a 24’ Cross to show your a Christian. Your actions should portray that... and this guy needs to rethink his outreach.

HUH?
Did the guy say he needs it to show he is a Christian?
Who are you to judge his outreach?
If you do not agree with it no one is saying you need to erect a Cross.
Right on, RWI. Years ago Francis Shaeffer wrote a book, “The Mark of a Christian” and thoroughly destroyed the thinking behind “Christian” symbols, be they the cross, or whatever.
His point was simply that God has given us only ONE mark that we should wear: the life and character of Christ in us, the Holy Spirit.
And while a majority of Christians promote outward symbols by the dozens, our great lack is that our lives too often contradict the witness of our symbols.....thus invalidating the message.
Case in point: I don’t like bumper stickers, but the best one I ever saw was,
“Jesus - Wonderful Lord!”. It was on the bumper of a car going 85mph on I-75 in Florida when the speed limit was 55 - dangerously passing everyone in sight.
“You don’t need a 24’ Cross to show your a Christian. Your actions should portray that... and this guy needs to rethink his outreach.”
yeah, smug and Christian really don’t go together very well...
