I got some great material from
you readers - thanks!
This week, I'm going to start with one that
Emily Luerhmann
sent me.
J and I were just talking recently about church
marquees. Some churches try to draw people in by
putting clever, fortune cookie sayings (or
One-liners for
Evangelism) on their marquees. Do you know
anyone who would say that they visited a
church because the sign said:
"Down in the mouth? It's time for a faith
lift"(1)
or
"When God saw you - it was love at first
sight"(1)
I'm all for evangelism at every opportunity, but this
is just a little ridiculous and I would venture to
guess, ineffective. Doesn't it seem that the title
and text of the sermon are more likely to peak a
passer-by's interest in a church than a cheesy
saying on a "street pulpit" like
"The Bible is the breakfast of champions.
What did you have for breakfast? (2)"
C'mon.
The following is a FABULOUS way to use a church
marquee - banter. I have to agree with the sender
that the Catholic church seems to have a much better
sense of humor about it....
