I want you to watch a modern day example of what we’re talking about in a clip from the movie, Simon Birch (Chapter 8). Notice particularly the contrast between how some people relate to little Simon Birch versus others.

If we were looking for an example of how to not win a child to the Lord I think this Pastor and Sunday School teacher would be a pretty good example of it. They have obviously lost sight of why the church exists. The church exists for the people—for people like Simon Birch.
