Some years ago I was a guest at a church convention. The delegates had a healthy debate regarding how the church should respond to a variety of social concerns. One young man, whose heart was clearly in the right place, frequently went up to the floor microphone and argued his position. His statements were not well thought out, but he had plenty of words to share and plenty of passion. It was difficult to understand his line of reasoning because he wasn't very articulate, and people began to chuckle as he made his trips to the microphone.
