What is this sign really saying?

It's amazing what you see when you're driving through Alabama!

Okay, I hope this brought at least a smile to your face.

But is there something deeper going here? What do YOU think about the message of the sign?

Now click the comment link below and let's converse.

FYI, I'll wait until I have several comments before I publish them... so please don't wait for others to go first.

I guess every church needs a "mantra" of some sort...

I go to church and he STILL tries. Fact is, I'm a child of God and the devil is out to get Him, so with Christ in me I'm not immune but do have God's power to overcome Satan's fiery darts--wherever I am!

In Ala\bama/ the devil carries a scythe instead of the traditional pitch-fork...

And if you don't go to church, he'll take you "down to Georgia" and make you play a fiddle.

seriously? How often do I have to go to be safe? Which church? Who tells him to keep his hands off me because my attendence is up to date?

To throw in two cents that may or may not be mine to throw...

It seems to me that the message of the sign should be: "Commit your soul to Christ, or the Devil will get you..."

Definitely Christian fellowship is one of the most important tools in our walk with Christ. But explain how Church could possibly take the place of Christ. It seems like a lot of times though that's the message that we send sometimes... as long as you're coming to church every Sunday, then you can't be doing too bad.

seems to me that the more of Christ's work I'm getting done, the more the devil's out to get me, so I think the sign is wrong. :)

I guess it depends on the church, too.

This four-session disciplemaking training experience takes you to the very heart of disciplemaking friendships that flourish and multiply. It's an exploration of how to live the "one-another" verses as found in the Bible. This will NOT be a lecture or a passive  workshop. Expect fun, thought-provoking interactions, encouragement, and God-directed transformation that you'll be able to apply to your life and ministry immediately. Bring your Bible and your framily (friends and family). Each person receives a training manual  and  a One Another Living Guide for taking what you learn back to those where you live, work, play, and church. Y ou'll encounter these four sessions: *  Session 1  (Thursday PM, September 5 th, 6-8 PM ) No Relationships = No Ministry;  Know Relationships = Know Ministry An out-of-the-box learning experience will get us started and explain why relationships are the heart of ministry—and God’s mode of operation for impacting and c...

So many people trying to find friendship and community...

If video above doesn't appear, go here . So many people trying to find friendship and community. Here's a thought. Instead of trying to "find" community, what if instead you sought to "build" community right where you live , work , play , and church ? But how does one "build" community? As a general rule, I try to take all of my questions to Jesus and the Bible.  So, how did Jesus "build" community?   This is where I invite you to do your own study on how Jesus used meals to connect with people. At a minimum, you could quickly search " Jesus eating. " What can we say with certainty about Jesus and eating in the Bible? It seems that Jesus enjoyed eating meals with all sorts of people—and the meal wasn't about the food—it was how Jesus connected with people. Can you think of a better way to connect with people? Perhaps this is why Paul lists "hospitality" as a requirement for all leaders in the church (1 Timothy 3:...
