Church Signs

I was driving by some church today and the sign read, "The best vitamin for a Christian is B1." I'm not one to complain (or maybe I am), but I'm not sure that silly sayings are a great help to spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ. It makes sense for church's to put their times of service up on their sign. Or a web site, concert dates, program activities and the like. Even a Bible verse would be nice. But corny one-liners? Following are some examples:

"Fear knocked. Faith answered. No one was there."
"Life is like tennis. Serve well and everything will be good."
"ASAP: Always Say A Prayer"
"Don't let yourself get burned by the Son this summer"
"All saints have a past. All sinners have a future."
“Don’t get depressed, come get blessed!”
“Jesus should be your steering wheel, not your spare tire.”
“Road Rage: How would Jesus Drive?”
“Have trouble sleeping? We have sermons, come try one!”
"When you die you'll meet Father God, not Mother Earth."
"3 Nails + 1 Savior = 4 giveness"
"Be an organ donor...give your heart to Jesus"
"Heaven is not Burger King. You can't have it your way."
"Cards over Yanks in 6!! Jesus over Death in 3!!"
"If you're looking for a sign from God to get back to church, this is it"
"Walmart is not the only savings place"
"Baskin Robbins isn't the only place with good Sundays"
"If God is your co-pilot, you'd better switch seats"
"Try Jesus....If you don't like Him, the devil will always take you back"
"God always answers knee-mail"
"Sign broken, message inside"
"Obey if you love Jesus, anybody can honk"
“For all you do, His blood’s for you”
“A river of life is flowing out of this place. Come on in!”
“Jesus is not a four-letter word.”
“What vitamins do Christians need? 2 B1 Daily.”
"The Bread of Life never becomes stale"
"Martians welcome! We have space for everyone!"
“Good – 0 = God”
“Want to avoid burning? Try Son block!”
“Think it’s hot? So’s hell! Think about it!”
“To go nowhere, follow the crowd”
“All the best things in life aren’t things”
“Don’t put a question mark where God puts a period.”
“A family altar can alter a family”
“Temptation is an itch you must not scratch”
“The difference between a stumbling block and a stepping stool is in how you use it”
“Soul food served here”
“We should be more concerned with the Rock of Ages than with the Age of Rocks”
“God has a big eraser.”
"This church is prayer conditioned."
"Wrinkled with burdens? Come to Jesus for a faith lift."
"Read the Bible, it'll scare the hell out of you."
"Don't give up. Even Moses was once a basket case."
"Prevent truth decay. Brush up on your Bible."
"Don't say 'Our Father' on Sundays and spend the rest of the week acting like an orphan."

Comments, anyone?

B1 means "be one," as in being a good Christian. Or something like that.

So, the best vitamin for a Christian is be one? That doesn't even make sense. Those dumb signs!
