Both of these events could have been used to bring people into the church. How about you have a superbowl party watch the game and invite people? Can't you have church while watching the game? Has church really been categorized by preaching from the pulpit and hymn singing only? How said is this?!
At any rate, from time to time I catch things on the sign where I just want to close my eyes. However, as you will see in the photos below there are times when it is obvious that a Church is being mislead and desperately needs to encounter Jesus before they decide to preach His Gospel.
I'm not advocating Calvinism. As a matter of fact, I would never preach five point Calvinist theology. However, I love my brothers and sisters who are Calvinist... because I know that they are first Christian. What I would like to point out is that it is important that when the rubber meets the road we are united as the body of Christ in ministry.
For a good laugh, a scratch on the head, or possibly an immediate rise in blood pressure please scroll down and to read the other side of the sign.
"If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. " Mark 3:25

Wow, thanks for the post. All this time I thought reformed theology was orthodox. Well, thanks for possibly saving my soul, church with the name blocked out.
By the way Hank, I hope you don't become Pelagian like some of the Methodists I have met at Erskine.
You know you want(are destined) to be a Reformed Methodist like Whitfield and Isaac Watts.
Ha! After you told me about that sign that night at Mellow Mushroom, I went by the sign the next day. I had to see it for myself...Just sad.
