Sign of the Times
Okay, seriously... What's with the church signs? Where did they come from? Who decided that every church in America must have a sign posted outside its front door with a mildly clever pun? And that's really being kind.No really, guys. I'm sure that people are drawn into a church simply because of your witty marketing tactics. Souls will be reached!
I passed one this weekend that was one of the worst I've seen in a long time: Come in for a faith lift.
A few other recent winners:
- Prevent truth decay. Read your Bible daily.
- We have a prophet sharing plan.
- And the classic: CH _ _ CH. What's missing? UR!
You know what? I have to stop. They are just too awful.
Let's end this on a high note, with a brief nod to clever signage. I have to mention a little situation on Anja's street that makes me break into a full-on grin... There's a house nearby that's sported a neon light in a second-storey window for years. The light reads 'homo.'
Recently, the house across the street invested in a similar neon sign. Theirs reads 'skim.'
Well played, mates.

And your own church isn't so innocent of this pheonomenon. I find most of their catchy phrases to be quite painful! The latest? What's the best vitamin for a Christian? B1
Really? Haven't been in town in a while... But that is AWESOME.

my favorite church sign ever was "we are open sundays"
