"If you pause to think,
you'll have cause to thank."

Well, let me put that to the test: I'm thinking that "think" and "thank" rhyme for the people at this church, and I'm thankful I'm not a member there. Wow! They're right!

Humor-blogs.com is an action verb. Just do it.
Keep 'em coming.
That first sign is based in a philosophy that time is strictly linear, and that each day is a new creation of God. They could just as easily have said that there has never been a yesterday. It is always "today" that we live and work in. Shades of James 4:13-16, perhaps.
ReplyDeleteMore to the point, I think that it's supposed to be a commentary on people saying that they'll do things "tomorrow," like come to church, repent, or make better church sign slogans.
Or maybe they're just atheists about the musical "Annie."
Isn't there a common Christian thing where people say "Don't you go worrying yourself about tomorrow - God will take care of tomorrow; you take care of today"
ReplyDeleteWhy God can't also take care of today I've never quite understood.
Thanks, eolai. I wondered the same thing, too.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I figures they were trying to be all philosophical about the general "idea" of tomorrow, I just thought maybe I was missing something. It seems a pretty sloppy attempt to me.
ReplyDeleteEolai...LOL. Sadly, a lot of Christians do say that and it's a misinterpretation of this passage from Matthew 6. It's probably what that church was trying to do:
25 "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
27Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
28"So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31"Therefore do not worry, saying, "What shall we eat?' or "What shall we drink?' or "What shall we wear?' 32For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
That's really smellin' like a felon.
