"Scared? Come worship with us."

all signs this post submitted by frequent contributor Emily Bezaire, Smyrna TN
Because we're scared too!

"Every exit is an entrance to someplace else."
I wonder if they use that same sunny rationale when members try to leave the church.


"Life shrinks and expands in proportion to one's courage."
Yes, folks the secret of life revealed: Life is like a 13-year old boy and courage is like the new Victoria's Secret catalog. It was right there in front of us all along.

Is "courage" a fruit of the Spirit now? Or a beatitude? "...the greatest of these is courage"? What's going on here?


"It is easier to preach ten sermons than to live one."
This just in: The church board has put this sign up because a congregational vote on the pastor's next pay raise is soon. He is none too pleased with the message on the sign, nor the timing.


"The Bible is most helpful when open"
Except when you're trying to kill mosquitos with it. Then closed really is the best option.

By the way, just opening a Bible and letting its aura sort of seep through the room really isn't as helpful as the sign might suggest it is. It's most helpful when read....and even maybe applied.



Thanks to Emily for the batch o' crumminess. She also helped review that last one.

Keep 'em coming.

  1. It's funny that you would put up the sign about living a sermon. I was going to send that one in to you today.

  2. Hopefully, this is a good sermon that you would be theoretically living.
    It's easier to create 10 crummy church signs than to live one.

  3. Aaargh! Idle brain moment!
    The first sign ought to be vandalised to read "Sacred? Come worship with us."
