What's Missing? CH_ _ CH
About five years ago I remember sitting in a class with Dr. Bergler at Huntington and he talked about one of the most brilliant ideas I had ever heard. He traveled quite a bit visiting different students on PRIME and had the privilege of seeing so many different church signs and it motivated him an idea to create a coffee table book with pictures of the best signs he found.
every time Meri and I pass buy this church in Independence on the way to the movies we both shake our heads at the absurdity, and almost every time Meri asks, "where do they come up with these things?"
Well, the answer is found right here.
701 Sentence Sermons.
If that's not enough, there's 701 MORE Sentence Sermons.
1402 Church Signs. 1 a week = 26+ years of brilliant signs.
I saw this at the Christian Bookstore today and picked it up to see if maybe someone had beat Bergler to the punch. The book is set up in an amazing way. There is the Sentence Sermon followed by...
Effectiveness: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
That way you can be sure to use the most useful
I always thought that everyone thought these signs were super cheesy except for pastors who make their janitors (or Youth Pastors, often viewed in the same light) put the signs up but apparently this is a lucrative industry.
So what are some of your favorites? Post them in the comments.
