Church signs
At every church we have pastored, at some point we dealt with individuals who would leave signs around the church in abundance and they were not always of a positive nature although the people always thought they were doing something needful. There are times I've constructed a sign myself and then had to check myself and ask..."is this positive?" and "how is this looked upon by others who read it -- especially first time guests or newcomers?"
My husband often says that many churches are churches of "signs and wonders"...with all the SIGNS, it's a WONDER anyone gets saved!
I found this cartoon above and just had to chuckle...
Any other pastors/pw's deal with this? I'm sure you've all got your own stories to tell!

In MN a few years ago, there was a huge controversy over the "No guns permitted on the premises" signs - with the new concealed weapons laws, public places were required to put that sign in a prominent place if they DIDN'T want people carrying their weapons inside. Many churches felt that this just didn't send the right message for a place of worship, and there were huge protests staged...the whole works! All over a little sign.
